99Roses

Enclosed. 

Layered between thick walls

Encompassed. 

Fluid movement, fluid all around you

As you take shape, take form.

The gaping hole at the sides of your head

Develop

Listening to the sounds that the woman makes 

With her heaving breath.

 

She has to do what she must

Moving along as she does 

Feeling the tender stomps she takes 

As the blisters fill her feet.

When she sits 

The struggling positions it takes

To fill her mother's seat.

 

And as you rest there

Numb to her stress

of blood.

Oblivious and innocent in 

this life of sin

Your life becomes her virtue 

Reborn

Encaptured within.
