Poet in a Cage

 [Poet in a Cage]

No. You cannot

Swallow this epiphany

It will poison your heart

Set motives against goals

Spin on a reputation

And offer mirthless smiles

In the dark


Who.am.I?
I.am.not.you

I absorb gaslight

& the anthems 

of the damned


I pray to the cage

Collapse and compress

Let my atoms move faster

Until the kinetic energy

Creates a radial storm

Of ash shadows and cinders
