why do you ask me
when
i do not know.
why do you taunt me
when
i am confused.
your questions swarm
close to my face,
disturbance throngs
inside my flesh,
my tongue is thick
i am struck dumb.
the hornets want to sting my eyes ...
i try to keep the drones at bay.
one thousand eyes
are watching me
watching me watching you
waiting for you to speak
to
me
to tell me everything.
(whatisitlike howdoesitfeel
isitsogood isitthebest?)
i am consumed
i want to know your every thing.
instead i wait
so carefully ......
each word i speak
is metered out
scrupulously weighed pondered
afraid ...
afraid to give the wrong idea
afraid to wrong
when i don't know
what right is ... any more ...
sensing perceiving
new darkness being born in me
a growing limb which reaches out
and tries to choke my sanity
this growing limb
which starts to strangle ...
one thousand eyes
i want to leave
the hornets sting my outer shell
i want to hide my
inner me
i don't know who these voices are
that tear me here
that tear me
here.
why do you ask me
when
i do not know.
why do you taunt me
when
i can't respond.
