fragile by Twilbury Wist Wednesday 1st October 2014 7:40 am There was a hole In the page Which Unsurprisingly I fell through Paper thin cracks And shards Of dripped Dipped And wasted ink Flooded my pores Painted And pained My flesh As the lost ideas Of women And men Wept their way Down my spine And the world From below The whole of the Paper Was a papier-mâché Mask Of malcontent And mistrust As all The lines of dishonesty Burnt above Unthreatening To the paper For the flames We're scribbled In crayon By heartless Lost souls And the confetti That is life Rained down It's dandruff ideas Sprinkling Everything that was Ever done With a sense Of fervent helplessness Lost in the muddle Of littered Penmanship And rotten fruits Grown But forgotten Along with The sheep And their predictable Meaningless Slaughter
