To The Other Man

Did you see me
When I appeared on his arms?
Didn’t you see how the faces turned
When I curled up later
With the sun burning in my face?

“Enough, Enough” you must have yelled
Deep down!
Haven’t you learnt to believe what
You see?
Oh, how can I pity thee!

Betray me dear, get out of my thoughts.
Leave me alone.
Fling some earth on me,
Make me a street mongrel,
Don’t clean the scabs!

The rose looked so fresh
I reached out for it
Through the garden mesh
Ah, a thorn! Ouch, a cut!

Crimson liquid gushed
The heart gave a silent scream
Not for the blood
But for the tousled bloom

you deal with roses darling,
i deal with moss.
you smell,
i stink.

people love you
without shame.
i'm ugly,
even in loneliness!

Cheers!
