i am you
..........
i am sunrise,
a fog,
a lily pad
floating in
a pond--
--(no frog)--
i am an angel,
dressed in black velvet,
and I only allow the light on my face
when the moon
cannot be seen
at night,
to wimper among the rhythm of
slithering snakes in
the cool night sands,
i am macerated flesh of
a wild animal,
waiting
to dry out after the feasting of
hungry wolves,
i am a feild of daisies,
and you have severed my lifeline
to place me
on
your great-grandmother's hand made
doily for your
pleasure,
i am an onion,
bursting with pungent juices
to make the tears fall from
your eyes like a torrential
downpour
in the worst of droughts,
i am hell fire
to infinity
and
i am waiting for
more,
i am the gleam
of a child's
face on
christmas morning,
and the killer's
grin of
satisfaction,
and i am the untamed
ogre of
grief, the
grim rapist,
that entices
your anger,
a predator
lusting after your
greatest
fears,
i am the regurgitation of man's worst crime,
sin,
sorrow,
fear, hope,
and desire,
that wallow
like poison in the pit of his
belly,
and,
i feel,
things,
too.
