Changeling

Rejected but not forgotten
No one exists
in patterns of blackness
Poison in the grey cracks
Cuts through the center
So hard, so dry
flat and wasted
Say no more
Clinging tenaciously
to the droplets of life
leaked from this pen
loaded with invisible ink

Begotten among the selected
We alone
contained in blankness
Balm on the membranes
Pushes into hope
too much, too late
easy and low
Hear this now
One more changeling
of the face of desire
Tell me something
worth living for.
