Our Lady The Opaque
I will not look at you
your eyes and your face and your hands
I hold them in the blurred periphery
like the sun and the stars
you glow brighter when I look away
I will not see through you
your face and the mind beyond it
I halt my guessing at your feet
whatever fears or desires pulse therein
you do not need me to draw them from you
I will not touch you
your mind opaque and voice a mist
I know the venom in my hands
and the spines on my tongue
you are fading quick enough without my help
[This is a piece I've been working on for awhile, some lines have resisted all efforts, any input will be appreciated.]
