"in restraint" a poem in free verse
In the way to see,
see me hinder in you fool.
It's alive in your mind,
rivers run under black,
fade, fade away,
stray under the strains walk in shame,
run on your hearts attack,
in evanescent plumes.
Run, run away,
on broken legs that never heal.
Hear the same,
taste in the stains,
she left in your eyes that you tear,
as you sink in the sand,
that was laid by my solemn hands.
Sink in your brains monkey pit,
as you scream, scream away,
as you fade,
fade on her face,
in the broken heart,
left on your name.
She's in clay,
molds of tiny enraptured souls,
that see,
beneath,
you
and
me...
