Eyes in Motion
My eyes Stranger
wander
wander
to you
Far far away
then
they begin
to
stumble
they
stumble
backwards
Hatred
As my right ribcage
was compressed,
my heart shifted
from left to right.
As that noose tightened
Spilled one lone tear.
All now o’er and gone.
Just the heart in its righthand chamber.
Raptured one, I hate you.
Transcending the Hatred
That the monsoon oftentimes
Does not open its gates to the scorching heat
is news to no one.
The very skins are bursting
And again an earthly womb becomes
Eternally barren.
Then they reconcile:
The earth and the monsoon.
