Numb - 2013

​A gutted fish thrown onto the shore,
Drowning in slow motion,
Liquefied air, ice on fire,
The sun submerged in water,
Its light locked up in a coffin,
A meteor falling away from the surface
To crash into a flying submarine,
An alien suffocating on oxygen,
Here on the Third,
An autistic child singing on stage,
A dreaming insomniac foretelling the past,
An illiterate poet rewriting destiny,
A lethal overdose saving our immortal souls,
An antimatter elephant
On a rampage in a china shop,
Deaf Mozart and blind Delacroix;
Lady Liberty in handcuffs again,
Hope left drying on a meat-hook,
Butchered by common sense,
Feelings left cooling in the refrigerator,
I’m numb, and it’s killing me.
