Faceless (poem)
FACELESS
You are the Lazarus.
resurrecting.
in my mind.
dying
over and over. and over, again.
to rise. only
like sun and moon.
You are the Lazarus.
in my tears.
in my chest.
in. my. every thought.
you cannot die.
trapped. in the mine of a tomb.
buried. deep and dark.
season to season.
like loot.
or
Pandora's box.
I can't get you out. which one are
you
torment and lament. I dig you out.
an orphan's
revelation
that
evades resolution. I was your satellite.
cast out. and forgotten.
but you were never. the center of. the universe. you
are the star. called
Lazarus.
you are so idle and yet.
so.
dangerous.
beautiful
and tattered, bandit.
of the motherhood
but I have found, a sunlit
night with purpose.
and, so, my Lazarus
the forsaken.
has
forgiven.
and the depraved mantra
chants.
among the
prosperous.
live, live,
live,
she is living.
