Counting the Horizons

Counting the Horizons




Tonight I count my scars and wounds all wrapped
Beautifully, like a sunflower maze
And in the existence of evil and angels
I criss cross my wrists
To count the underneath skin further.
The algebra is submerged like a colossal building
Sinking under the mole of my chin,
My mole is as dark as the truth hidden.
Somewhere between the ships departing
And the masks of people, my skin goes missing
Like a conundrum caricature of monsters and
My porcelain tongue screaming,
I discover, a thin red thread of lies and morality
Clashing and clinging my swollen breasts
Oh, human!
Thy art is a charisma, Thy existence is timeless myth.
