Wheels within wheels
Lines between lines
Persons inside persons
So many innuendos
hypocrisy..
Misaffection
silences that gouge
deep gaping wounds
Lavished briefly
with a salve of
sweet words
And then you're
back to being a
stone man -
stone-heart, stone-mind
With a double edged knife
to twist in my soul
I am
after all
yours.
