Vessels it could smart
2 March 2024

See through me
windows within frame
I foresee
what they show
the tender limbs that they maim
a stark death to flow

To forget
what transpired within
body kept
paper thin
The borders that became blurred
from reasons unheard

Get me maps
of ancient lines drawn
under wraps
over trails
extent of which my mind fails
to see those withdrawn

I will walk
in valleys strewn red
where roses
their blood shed
in dilemma this poses
for the biased talk 

I tower
vengeful and irate
through power
over fields
Passion in my body yields
old codes to translate

There is fire
diluting in veins
it brings stains
into heart
burnt cinders that charred higher 
vessels it could smart

Reading of the poem:

Requiem for the dream of man - Stig Nyman
