orgami's Diaryland Diary

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

inferiority complex

bending memories
to fit inside
metal lockets
the links of chain
worn tender by
time

grit of years
polish darkness
like cutting smiles

reaching out from
darkness

we fumbling in our
inspirations
taste bitter victories
on our sour tongues

holding on
to what we have grasped
taking cover
when we feel the cut
of the lash

the metal heart
closed tight and safe
I hold your image

I hold you
close
to

me
