Eternal Law
My nothingness stretches
between two ends:
the ache of absence,
the numbness of becoming
a line from a poem
recited by the executioner.
I wear my grief,
pass my hand through my hair
and kiss the mouth of wretchedness
before I taste the tart wine
offered by pale angels.
The corrosive blade
cleaves the breezy day
slaying my once-valiant soul.
A marred version of me
welcomes this transformation.
Strange it is to see you –
waiting, with no words to say,
your eyes fixed on the wall.
You know I can’t console you.
My chain is too short.
