Exile
Light This City

When you gaze into your polished metal platesnYou picture the face of a man who longs to see his soulnBut claws are claws, whether sharpened or painted or bluntednFrom hours of bounding, one-track-minded, through the snownI have arrived, an exile too inferior for your highness to fightnArmored, not humored, and prepared to seize your lifenThe prisoner I came to rescue sits down to watch the fightnWith tears in her eyes,nnWho knew a tongue could do so much harmnLying in one’s mouth?nDancing to music that wasn’t really therenMuttering about moments we never even sharednYour twisted jaw movesnBut you’ve lost all soundnHow soon till your breath runs out?nnWhen the others gaze into your polished eyesnAs glassy as the doll’s you hold to represent your soulnThey witness the face of an animal acting like a mannIn their confusion, you dressed them in sashes and perfume,nBut the stench seeps throughnI long to scream, “My country,nThis is not how we were supposed to live!”nAnd with each mortifying blow, I’m fading rapidlyn“Get up!” I hear that faithful onlooker pleadnShe won’t insult me by looking awaynWhen I start to bleednnWho knew a tongue could do so much harmnLying in one’s mouth?nDancing to music that wasn’t really therenMuttering about moments we never even sharednYour twisted jaw movesnBut you’ve lost all soundnHow soon till your breath runs out?nnOne leap, one strike, and the metal snaps away from your facenThat chattering jaw comes unhingednAnd your insincere tongue hangs down from your necknI plunge through the ribs and grasp the steaming, slippery heartnIt slides down my throat and I am king againn“Tear down these garish walls and let the prisoners free!nThrow their gaudy stones out to the sea!nRip these dolls limb from limb, claws proudly unsheathed!nOur souls were never meant to be seen.
