dirge in the dark's blog: "Man without this mask!!"

U were the small brightly colored bird that the boys incinerated their hearts a pone

They loved u bitterly and called u a witch

U wanted to belong to someone

U found one but he tricked u

And tore u like a sister’s doll in a mean brother’s hand

And so u became the hurricane child

Spewing glass shard, cat hard blood

Chewing off your foot to get free

I tracked the blood drops in through the snow and found u

U didn’t fear me

U saw it in me and I saw it in u

And we safety our weapons

Your were the wolf that stood by the edge my camp fire ever night

I would call to u

By you would come closer

A few nights later it was very cold

And the fire was very bright

And we could see each other’s faces

U saw it in me and I saw it in u

And u came and sat next to me

And warmed yourself

We were together from then on

And nothing could separate us

The world lost its hold on us

We won out against time and convention

I would give u the map of where all the landmines on my property are

And part the razor wire

So you can join me behind the tree line

I don’t care if I ever see anyone of them again

But I can look into your eyes for a long time

It’s safe back here behind the tree line

Can you hear me calling you

From across the river

Please come

Hurry

There’s not much time

The snipers will be back at their posts soon

And crossing will be risky

Please hurry to my heart

I need to hear your breath explode against my neck

There is only this clenched moment
