you can’t face me
because you can’t
face
yourself
i can’t face you
because i can’t
face
myself
i live forever
in a black and white
metal theater
locked box of
colourless display
but love
ah ཨ
i know it now
genuine love
raw and real
it opens me
inside out
like as if
my skin itself
was flayed
red hot ashe
glows
sparkling
brocade of light
in space
the syllable-less
mantra of heart
voice
that just can’t be
forced silenced
submission
it brings me to my
knees
in anjali
