I woke to find myself alone in a place where no sun shone. a voice said “You’re not welcome here” and I answered “Why?” I stood up then and looked around I saw a woman on the ground she was pierced by many knives. she made an ugly sound. I found a window in the wall where I could fancy I was tall I put my hand against the glass. it wouldn’t break at all. I touched the window once again I asked “Can I be loved by men?” a voice then came from far away and it answered “No”. I asked once more, “So if not men can I be loved by women then?” another voice crept from the ground, “Never” was the sound. sometimes I roam in cemeteries see bodies hanging from the trees their eyes pecked out by scavengers. nothing left for me. I wander into mental wards where men parade with rusted swords I try to paint them with my brush. I only paint their words. I’ve seen a mirror made of wood reflecting infants’ guts and blood and every mother turns her back. children here must die. I’ve tried to be a mirror clear bouncing back the blood and fear the glass is darkly cracked, alas I cannot feel a thing. I’ve often noticed, when I’ve lain close up to those in dreadful pain the rise and fall of every breast tells me I’m alone. all men and women are the same built of that dust Caesar became, at night we walk in galaxies. these days I do not sleep. some people live in fields of bones some women fiddle on their own some women when their hands are tied make the loudest sound. some people live with broken glass while others die from poison gas others still need to confess. here there are no Priests. I woke to find myself alone in a place where no sun shone. a voice said “You’re not welcome here” and I answered “Why?” —-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-— Please note that in UK English “cemeteries” has only three syllables and is pronounced “Semetrees”. |
