Cards Contra Me

A Poem by Kleio13
"

Confessionalism

"


The cake is boiling


It`s like Oliver Wilde


Writing stories in his brother`s grave-sweet demise, grainy madness


 


I`ve defaulted into a deliberate shawl- cold and unfamiliar


 


My mother proved me at risk again-


Always nobody`s daughter


Always considered a victim,


Always talked about when gods are involved with her oneness and idiosyncrasies.


 


He claimed the demon was “I”.


Yes, her deos,


  Yet a lily like me spots stones from miles away


I smelled the milk of regret when I walked from my car, a sixth sense ice-picked into me spiritually,


When I strode into the house.


           The frigid hellos,


           The sting in my knees from ten hours of straight work


           Their looks of plotting against me


Going to sleep I can taste their lies


 


Matrise meae


 


It`s as if I want to conjure the she-devil and tell her she was right.


Possessionem familiae meae disgraced me.

man! ..reading puts such a heaviness on me Kleio ... confessional poetry can be a big risk but this is so pure and will haunt me ..especially during these Holidays .. my daughters (like many fathers) are my special angels ..it is simply so ..and this poem squeezes blood tears deep inside ... the Latin you used is just close enough to understand without looking it up .. a big hug going to you right now my friend ...really happy to see you posting :)
