A LACK OF PAIN
So I define your holy Joy
As « A lack of my pain »,
Your smile is a viscous viper
Dancing little ōteʻa
In my viscera, like a Tapa of mane.
And you shall see no leizure
At the heart of my rot,
Neither do I secretely savor
This knot of ramparts
(It is made of fossilized love)
Give me this tinkling crown,
I’ll enthrone your eyes,
As they spoke with Truth,
Of my bluish misery.
So I name your evil Joy
« A lack of my sobs »,
Your smile is an empty glass,
The rolling scent of vodka,
In the brain of a thirsty boy.
Language so exotic, but at the same time reflecting a deep, almost brutish pain. This piece is full of contrasts - sadness but also resolve. Perhaps, reflecting on the ways the same memory can invoke either response. The evil and holy Joys at either end really highlight that. Very thoughtful write mate, looking forward to your next one :)
Thank you Lazarus, your comments always reflect an intimate reflection, I really enjoy reading them.
