escape room
or
when I was a victim
there was that one
false step
and falling all day
all stars extinguished
that was what they gave
you can’t know how it
is
or even imagine
full sun
moon dark
who knew?
blame childhood,
incapacity
curses passed down
what was I missing?
became the grudge
we fought for this, you
know
sensations you’d vote in!
scratch my back with an
ostrakon
and I’ll … no, you can’t
make me
it’s my solemn sacred
right
you could punch me then
I wouldn’t feel a thing
could hardly feed
could hardly breathe
pestilences, poxy doxa
when I was a victim
it wasn’t that I could
do no wrong
but it was not my fault
because
you wouldn’t understand
was done to
worlds were done to me
light tricked away
ironies of the
situation!
couldn’t share my hair
shirt
pariah pale out
who’ll lie on this bed
of nails with me?
who’ll take a stretch
on my rack?
and it was you because I
know
old friend
truth comes
here and so to blame
…bottle
and smoke myself in out
climb into a bottle of
blame
laughter? make it
bitter
when I was a victim
and you can’t be
this pogrom had my name
on it
it’s still my
immortality
a magnet of sorrows
righteous till now
I was chosen for this
who says
misery’s company?
when victim
I couldn’t this
couldn’t that
I couldn’t be expected
that was how I discovered
the plot
all the gods against
skin flayed
inside out head
drink me and eat me
what else?
I only took a little
fire
now will I stand
thin air, rare heights
still owed
and now will I erupt?
watch out for a victim
they’re not responsible
takes one to
doesn’t matter what you
say
I know I know
though we have yet to
establish a motive
blame nearest dearest
blame you on the day
send in a coroner now
no star shone in the
dream dark
you’d recognize the
signs
if so
they haven’t yet named
bones that I broke
yes, it was all about
me
no one says
‘good of you to listen’
oh let these people
free
and when I woke up
I was still here
and when I woke up
I was gone
