MUTILATING THE UNBORN

Saliva dried out
Holding in breath

Who stands there
Fixing piercing gaze

Fell a prey
To shadowy play

Muted life goes
UN-muted it rejoice

Beat a drum with stick
Sick have I become

One day sigh deep
Heart will look back

Once gone still lives
In dust of ashes

Storm in fury will drag
Away the only attachment

Left below the skin
And beyond the bones

Which once called
The eternal thou

Was teasing me
Mutilating the unborn
