I'm telling you

anna_noday

I'm telling you:

There's nothing between us!

Except words, drawings –

What an impossible task

To fill up my mind with ideas

Of people and their duties! –

 

I'm sitting across the street –

Where le gente meet –

There's a feather flying from a pigeon,

Who's trying to reach the blue sky,

I watched it and thought:

I would have taken an eye for an eye.

 

And what an eye would that be!

Dark brown, looking deep into mine,

Searching for something, perhaps for a soul –  

There's just a void, a big black hole –  

My organs are rotten, even filled with mold;  

Will you heal that, are you that bold?
