Would you believe that
those moths took their wings from me
heavy dust laden tiny skins
that flap in delight when the white arise?
those memories are sown to my skin
like the scar behind my ankle
when I fell off riding a cycle
sometimes those trinkets rattle within
in my skull, and mosses peep from the niches
silence is an extreme death metal
to my deaf years…. Painful, unbearable
I’ve filled in the cups of my palms
with prayers trickling down my fingers
who’ll hear me, the moth within
bent over a tombstone
of
crisp
winter
memories….

I like the abstract trend of this poem. It makes me interpret it serveral ways.
