Sunset



By sunset I’ll be a mile bye
from this poisonous planet
Then darkness over my eye,

fit sincerity in her place
And catch her cautious stings

Will trap the early morning dew
my feeding bottles to my cup
And will be born again – anew
As sunset sweeps the make up

But he knifed my peels from my skin With his iron hands, As his unsheathed paws Run down my flesh – on my secreted too. my lips adhered to his palm abide like glue. Though I cried, but only tried. his gear, my tear – torn into pools pool of blood all over his rags and mine It was him and I, His brethren in act The earth and the sun, the stars All witnessed.
