A SILHOUETTE

 

a silhouette, a shelter 

a grace so profound and better

thousand sorrows multiplies in the marrow 

a detrimental affair, we abhor the gallows  

a hundred ghost outnumbered 

their white apparel flutters unbothered 

a season of purge, a season of paranoia 

a cursed suburb isolated in a gutter 

a log of wood laps in your eye 

penitentiary curse or you’d rather die 

biter-sweet pills for our Alzheimer 

your hope pleading for mercy like anemia 

a petrifying aura runs down the gangway

hearts igniting love on a hot day 

a Sunday to calm down the Insidious week 

perilous weather frostbite the heart of the weak 

deserts of differences on their unethical charade 

fools aligning straight on a so-called parade 

an unbiblical cord for a noose

asphyxiating your soul for a cruise 

a silhouette, a shelter 

a grace so profound but not better

all are battered beings in nudity 

dying gruesomely in sinful chastity
