Dark Psalm

By elisa

Dark Psalm

the sound
rising from
deep inside
where the soul
screams buried
beneath the
shit

roaming chained
by gravity
under the
one-sided glass

clothed in
rotting skin
wearing flesh
to death

bound by the
original sin
circling without
an end

Amazed at your imagery. You paint a surreal nightmarish quality from begining to end...how do you pick a favorite stanza when each is so vividly insane. Nice job.

I really took to this because it brought me back to what it is being dirty in a gritty, shit kicking sort way. A certain degree of filth should be appreciated and worn proudly. Makes me like myself. Thank you.

The unchenchable thirst for knowledge, bane of sentient existence. Reality of its existence screaming from inside us, heard from all around us. The desire to think and be....... a sin....

A good solid ending. You have a way with directional short writes. They seems to say so much in an immense and small space. It cooks up some thoughts that are perplexing and rare. Tempered and moody. Lovely.
