White and Open
I. Physical manifestation of internal Bruising: On white open thighs Posing on toe Tips: Of nails getting Tender flesh caught Underneath: Your guise there Is something to be Noting: The largest connection Of underground sewage Systems: Coursing beneath vast Curious and ancient Piping: In whatever it is that Vehemently needs to be Broken... II Sky over the sand dunes Soaked in monsoon water Pink and blue strands of cloud Reflected in pools of mud Between toes of unclad feet: White AND Open Until the mountains Cut them off and Lock them in to keep From sifting themselves And propagating alabaster Nuclear poisoned winds: White AND Open Are the lies that sluice Through that slit of a mouth Like the water from a sky That has decided to purposely Drown the desert in its: White AND Open... III Woes that harbour Until it can do no More: Storytelling to a Youthful mind of Change: In wind and weather patterns Globe tilting on its Axis: Of an already asymmetrical Muscle atrophied physical body Laying: On its side in an Exertive act of sleep Not: Racing the sun to extinction Of landscapes left barren, White, and, Open.
