Bodies relaying

Strip me bare

of incantations

Let me wear

Heart a shield

My intentions laden field

of heartfelt nations



Count me more

Invisible frame

Hurt to tame

sad and sore

into unclear translations

Interpretations



The battle game

Untrue to proclaim

winner’s lies

Loser’s sighs

heaving in heart battle cries

woman, child they despise



Touch my skin

It reeks of sadness

Infinite

Is my pain

to see, not to stain

Free from the duress



I walk straight

into what I know

Truth to keep

piles on back

trying to cut myself slack

Oh but eyes to weep!



I feel grind

Powerless I see

Oncoming

evil kind

Of the fake they hide behind

bodies relaying
