Shame

Mute.
Unable to express
terrible torture within.
 

A labyrinth of images
haunting, flashing,
cying out.
 

No words to express
broken boundaries.
 

Limited in understanding
my Soul,
gate-keeper of heaven and hell
cries out.
 

Oh the ingratitude.
 

To feel such emotion
is worth all the suffering.

 

 

[Written after reading Salman Rushdie's 'Shame']
