A Little Modesty Among The Heretics

Some distant shore
(with fish screaming "poverty, Where are you?")
knows my name.
It longs for a slight kiss
of my will.
Beige huts shudder from child birth
as nine year olds emerge.
Their skin has been stylistically bleached
by an impersonal disease.
Their teeth are dull next
to their epidermis,
but what smiles...

We are all lepers in heart and soul,
bleached white to cover our sins.
Maybe it's time to finally heal.
