Zazzoo

Your mind hurts

and lashes at me with words i can't hear
through weight of noise they sting through

intelligent
beautiful woman
listen to yourself

and me

i am not speaking

listening to you rant
through me
knives in the sky

i'm easy to break
and your fears and theories railed against me
kill

know your bullets
before you load
or maybe you do
and don't know
me

i see your mind a cage of thorns
thinking its pain is so clever
so worthy
so full of life

dreams within you are more beautiful
more full of life
and available to you now

you say i am like empty space
then do not pollute it with your thoughts
but dreams of distilled and carefulcarefree wonder
in this we grow

thorns strangle and wither
not just you
me too
