The Order
Dan.
21 Apr 2005
This free verse
is so I stop nursing
the awful feeling in my gut
I must return home
because I must
because of blood
and an ancient promise
What is waiting for me
is the stone that sinks me
and is the one the eats me
from inside out without care
of the result of self-destruction
The 6-sided plate
which I used to love
a whole eternity of grief
kept by bitter herbs, a boiled egg
a burnt bone, a dipped vegetable
a bitter vegetable, and a terrible paste
This order, as we call,
is an ancient symbol of ....
That is not what I know, nor do I care
I know that they do not care about the soul
or about the heritage
Just about their name
Not even that it eats me always, their selfishness
