THE GRACKLES' SCREAM
SEK>.......?
If I was snow
emotionless and silent,
still as
frozen waters,
the lily-coloured self
spread out into Neverland,
blank alabaster skin
made not to sense nor feel,
​
with a heart of crystal gems
sparkling like ice
or precious diamonds,
hard to break -
would it suffice to quiet down
the murmur of the past
the whispers in the dark
of a dead man's legacy
​
By Mary Margaret. Park Et. al.
FACES' OF EVE
(F)aces of eve
pieces of you, pieces of me
normalcy in degrees
​
transparent
opaque
blackness
​
my words have tumbled
into a dark void
lost in the answer and call
of blackbirds
an interruption
shrieking chaos
shredding the peace
my brief respite has
ended
the blackbirds have returned
and I’ve grown weary
vultures
stealing normalcy in degrees
​
transparent
opaque
blackness
​
the grackles scream
mocking humanity
they’ve sent reason
away
for now, there is only blackness
better days reside
in the opaque silence of yesteryear
clarity’s window has closed
I can see you waving
on the other side
but the words tumbling from my lips
have no meaning
you are trapped behind the glass
the grackles scream
within us
pieces of me, pieces of you
normalcy in degrees
​
Transparent
Opaque
Blackness...
