Watch ME

Image
  Watch me walk the dark alley,  barefoot no footprints  climb the shapeless hill    Watch me sit with groans and moans  Count the bruises before they join the scars Watch me nurse my foot wallow in thoughts      listen to owls hoots on my failures.    Watch me fade away like a sunset  die to the imitation of me   like a stirred egg poured on a hotplate.  smooch the dusk breeze whiff the evening dust    Watch me sleep, wake up to the call of the future I've craved for stand up on        my black-and-blue legs wincing to the constant pains.    Watch me unscramble the fractures  walk on the creaky narrow road  climb the hill the hundredth time     hold on to the slopes  watch me reach the steep,  watch me stare back at the gravelled land.    watch me dance in glee             ...
