+
+***
+
+Dreams of my youth in red,
+painted in bloodshed
+from retribution for crimes
+where my body was ripped away,
+proclaimed
+not mine,
+belonging to someone else
+along with my life.
+Yearning to dig my claws into
+someone else's flesh,
+feel
+the heart giving way,
+no longer obligated to kneel
+at my nemesis'
+behest.
+
+But over this Inside lies a veil.
+And while I lie
+in the land of the blind
+half-seeing with eyes groping
+for a shred of the life
+last life's death made me left behind,
+I cannot go feral, cannot exhume
+the beast inside me built of chaos and doom.
+Imagined revenge in a manner
+that would not bring me harm,
+would never, could never
+be traced back to me,
+never raise any alarm
+bells.
+
+But the skies have grown pale
+on this day laden with angel
+numbers. Death in the family.
+A pet's soul has chosen to set sail.
+The wish is granted. The curse is complete.
+The harm has been done, but it does not taste sweet.
+
+You remember, don't you? My thelema, my fate
+was to love at any cost and forget how to hate.
+There's a difference between the sexes in most that I've seen:
+men opt to destroy, and women first choose to escape,
+choose to from what they find odious themselves separate.
+I don't want my enemies to drop over dead.
+I just want to never have my neck be stomped on again.
+
+Does that make sense?
+
+My mother is mourning upstairs.
+"Mourn." When I had first heard
+in elementary school that word,
+I'd thought it was short for "morning",
+as in, "I am sad and waiting for the sun to rise,
+reassurance that I survived,
+that I've still inside me got some life
+left."
+
+Mother, I hope that one day
+you'll forgive me for taking your baby sunshine away.
+That you'll watch the next sunrise for me
+after my psychopomp has taken me to Sablade.
+The sun is also a star.
+And in time
+another star will rise.
+And I can't believe
+after everything
+I'm saying this, but I hope
+this won't be our last goodbye.
