poetry – Page 4

The universe watches always, sees everything, but judges nothing, and responds never.

and let me tell you a secret, love: if you were really as cruel and terrible and loveless as you think you are, you wouldn’t try and work so hard and do everything to be as kind as you just proved yourself to truly be.

cruelty never doubts itself.

so don’t allow your kindness to do so.

my name is cow
and wen she sits
benethe the stall
withe tiny kit

I hav no hands
withe which to pat
I use mye tung
I lik the cat

my name is cat
and with tha kit
In front of stall
we lyk to sit

I feel her tongue
I say meow
I have a fren
Her name is cow

we cannot all be
poems poured into human shape
some of us are
hymns sung before war breaks

They call you witch
Because they think it’s a curse
So walk upright
Because you know it’s the truth

Strange
How they want you to be different
From everyone else
Yet not too much

But weird
How they don’t want you any different
From who you were
In the past

I’m not afraid to burn out.

I’m afraid to never burn at all.

When dawn breaks cold outside your house
Then in the silver fields is roused
Something that walks without a step
Something with coal eyes glowing red
So stay inside, and let it roam
Or soon you’ll be its dead new home

how dare you, they say,
we are who you owe
we gave you this life
and ours is your soul

how dare you not listen
how dare you not care
what our mouths want to see
what our ears want to hear
who are, who were you, how came you to be
to stand here before us, too strange and too free?

so there I stand
in silence alone
watch crowding wrath
of dark-martyred bones
their flock falters, shatters, fool’s gold to stone
and my song echoes: I am my own home

Humanity’s stupidity may be infinite but here is a little list of traits we have that are also infinite: curiosity, stubbornness (beyond infinite), the potential of kindness as well as cruelty, the ability to learn where we didn’t know or were wrong, and most definitely the ability to achieve something simply because we were told that we couldn’t, so get out of the way, the universe’s most mind-boggling creature is coming to prove you wrong.
