Pacifique Niyitanga

Untamed Still

But how far is afar? Will you learn?

And I hope you know what to undo.

 

Hello, frozen fire, I still smell your—

Smoke and feel your heat; you real.

 

Do we need amendments or... a no?

Freaking vices mingle with my soul.

 

For worse, I would bend the knee

But I still hurt and hate myself, truly.
