The Hollow

Please goodness if you exist out there.
give me some hint show me some twinkles.
Please give me some oxygen of sincerity
that I am so breathless,
Please show me some true beauty
that I am drowning in this stifling unsightliness
respiring the stale air under these disguises,
show me signs of the real meaning
that I am suffocating in the depthless of this water.

I am trampled
under the horse-hooves of these seamless Barbie Dolls
these scarless beauties,
this depthless smiles,
these shallow waters
with no heart hidden
under the swollen bruise of their brassieres,

these clockwork toys
that only repeat one word,
echoing a hollow “thank you”
trapped between these rocks.

There is no way
ever to freedom through these bars
except by your eyes,
the catapult of your sighs, your laments.

I am dying here.
You cannot believe how fast I am deteriorating
and dripping and drying
like the blood that spatters
on the silence of these cold cement walls
