Speak to Stone

 

Write in me a poem

make it strong and mean 

make it make up for 

these sheets, so clean

make it hot, I like it mean

as you've seen.

Write me a song

that will cause me to bleed

in places I swore to never need.

Do this

for me–

in ways

I cannot see.

Only seethe.

While you listen

 to me

so free 

immerse 

in this proverbial sea...

erase what I used to be 

when I was trying to become 

me

go ahead

if this makes you feel free

let's pretend

for a moment

you

are 

not you...

let's pretend 

for a moment

a 

fracture in time

a sort of sinister rhyme; 

let's pretend–

you are not you

you

are

me.
