Since water of the world 
I knew I’d have to face you 
The colour of my bites 
Yes they remind me of you 
In your blood 
I write I am not afraid 
This is who 
I am And I will never be like you 
I do not kneel 
All I’m asking 
Is nothing sacred anymore? 
Sailing through the flood 
Why did he keep two of you 
Splinter in your mind’s eye 
My Phoenix rises to swoop still floating in the gray water of your womb 
Take the edge of my thumbs 
Bury the nails deep into your eyes 
Maybe then you’ll see my light 
I’d rather crawl, drooling with the beggars 
They’ve got more to say
