The Onion 2 Poem by Minnie Gehrig

The Onion 2



Our love is...
so far from..
unrequited...
freedom...
it is the dead sand upon the lips..
that turn around n breathe life into..

all this broken...

me

solidified in the dark..
embers shiver in the darkness

afraid to be perfect
to well used...

n your smile is a beacon in the dark...
I put the light out...

don't see me here
half peeled
layers of meaty flesh
stinking up the sweetness

of a well planned meal.......
