::: Meditative yearning to become free :::

“You can do all things. If it is possible, let this chalice pass from me”

A ruthless grail that held her dreams
in seclusion of a cup grammatically
proper lettering that would not come out
she took a sip

zip

Unzipped trousers; and her mouth was shut
with a blow that was more than M times A
more than wind and course of sunsets;

it was the very sun that set
on her face leaving purple sunprints
that burnt and sunk into her silent soul.

The insides bleeding shattered hearts
a future hating pressing pasts
pressed against a body
constitution laws
and loss of faith.

The unbearably heavy burden of his midlife crisis
Atop her fragile childhood.

Her infancy lost in sullen pubic forests
Inevitable cycles of disdain recalling.
Marking the recurring entrenchment
Of her will
