chained
God fettered me happily
candles are lit by Sundays
to warm me up out of pity
- I dilute humility with water in a daze
I’ve ground my sentences to a clear bit
though my skull and teeth are like wrath
adrenaline drives me with a holy whip
as evil grabbed me on a narrow path
the heavenly bed is poisoned with blood
you humiliate me with your big-eyed lack
all scars mature into a single one
you look dim as it mirrors back
fools talk about my poems the most
the ravine is full of chatter
they’ll never understand the pulsation of the cosmos
because I am nothing but a figure of a battle
although in chains I arrive as a free man
hibernating into nothingness weightless
only numbers make up my life to tell
and it seems my rare horoscope isn’t painless
I would die but I fear the gods are tough
I can never use their weapons
to wake up a nice word would be enough
to put together my dubious figure in seconds
