Beggar's rights
Delighting in the derelict occasion
Marking the passing of another time
Centuries old, but only recently acknowledged
I know somehow
I do not belong in this festival
I am Queen of Egypt
Tonight, my Coronation
Though no longer of light, I truly do
Not belong in this festival
The man inside a glass cage
Looks out at the world
As though it were the imprisoned spectacle
The shadow of my ancestors
Plagues my mind in sleep
Some years later
I have forgotten
Grass starts to whither
Trees fade to skeletal monuments
On an unusually calm day,
I am caught too close to an inviting tree
He leans over and whispers
The words-the very words!-
Turning a formerly
pleasant creature to a monster:
The shame brought on by knowing
The difference between two
Opposing forces is not easily washed away
In masquerades our masks determine our
Anonymity, which in turn
Reveals the entirety of our scars, hidden.

That was pretty deep.
So many things stood out to me in this.
And it leaves me wondering of the inspiration for it and what it came from. I am finding many meanings in it. This one deserves a title though..."untitled" doesnt do it justice. |
