The Unburied Flesh
A stiffened emotion creates airtight in breath
In the lungs there is the place a lonely hearth
The spirit is torn whose birth was just wreath
And the blood fastening to nerves like sheath
Who was breathing for me in staring my eyes
Who was laughing and murmuring in my sighs
As whose craving for send me in world of lies
And for whom my life was not my own device
As in my voice and in my heart heron rends
And in my mind the pain thwarts moan ends
As like spirit comes out from my body bends
Its sharp end of wing cuts the skin by dents
Whose leg tears my mouth with rounded nails?
And shows me the flesh in simpered face else
I screamed on thy lashes at my unburied flesh
And whose shimming hand in my heart belays
The heartbeat which was for thou now stays
In the long ground of loneliness region airtight
Oh better if thou would bid my flesh in the night
So I wouldn't see my blood that runs for thy sight
And there would not be a sign of pride on thy right
