It is not you I have failed But the minutes that have prevailed; Cut into the deep wounds, red, Scars opening again, shall soon go to bed. It is nighttime wrapped inside, As a cocoon does fully provide; My heart cannot take much more, Lean left and stare wide at the open door. That is certainty hugging the ceiling, Had I not looked up, the walls revealing: The eyes and nose and mouth protruding. Imitations not bothered by frequent excluding. By the supreme law and controlled thoughts, Bound together to those who fiercely fought; It is not I seamlessly visible as I wait But an unfurling of you at the closed gate. It is not with disappointment we travel and pass by, Because what is heard will be a broken lullaby; It is not I sleeping right below, And one more minute until the overthrow.
