“DRESSED IN MEMORIES”
We wear our memories like clothes:
Can’t discard...............they don’t undo easily
Don’t feel comfy..........some too new
Don’t fit properly
Don’t feel right for you
Worn out...........can’t throw out or give away
Out dated
Passed down
Keep out of respect
Hang on to out of sentimentality
Trying out new ones is a challenge
“MY NAME IS”
My name is Shhh....
I believe
In No Thing.
Hear harsh voices snarling
See yellow eye slits.
The voices
of children calling calling
Where are you Mama ?
With Hypocrites my Darlings
With the Wolves dearest Ones
Howling in the Winds of Revenge.
Hold hands Little Ones and Dance
Dance around and around together
DO NOT Break the Chain
FOR SHE IS NOT THERE.
"I CAN'T FEEL MY TONGUE"
I CAN'T FEEL MY TONGUE
DOES THAT MEAN
ITS GONE
NOT THERE
NOT ANYWHERE
EMPTY SPACE EMPTY SPACED OUT SPACE
HOW CAN I FEEL AROUND
IF ITS NOT THERE
TO FEEL AROUND
IF ITS NOT THERE
TO FEEL AROUND
TO FIND.
I CANT FEEL MY TONGUE
DOES THAT MEAN ITS NOT THERE.
IF YOU CANT FEEL SOMETHING
DOES THAT MEAN
IF YOU CANT FEEL SOMETHING
THEN ITS NOT THERE
NOT EXIST
NEVER EXISTED..
OR IF YOU CANT FEEL
IT STILL EXISTS
EXCEPT YOU CANT FEEL
IT THERE
IT IS.
IT STILL
DOES
EXIST
ITS YOU THAT CANT FEEL
MAKES
IT NOT EXIST
FOR YOU.
THOUGH IT IS AS IS
THERE
FOR OTHERS
WHO FEEL.
BUT IT IS MY T O N G U E !
I CANT FEEL MY TONGUE
THAT TONGUE THAT IS MINE
HAS IT GONE
OR AM I NUMB
TO FEELINGS
MY TONGUE IS FEELING
HOW I NOT FEEL
WHAT MY TONGUE FEELS
AS IT FEELS ABOUT
F E E L I N G.
I CANT FEEL MY TONGUE
MY TONGUE DOES NOT
WANT ME
TO FEEL
IT
FEELING.
I FEEL NOTHING
AT ALL
NOT EVEN
A TIPTOE TIP
OF THE TONGUE
FEEL AROUND
FEELING.
