I will write you in caricature

 
because to me
that's all you are;

perfectly placed
in a grand abode

masterpieces
all arranged
on a pristine
coffee table,

the book you
wrote sat on
a pedestal

left untouched

because no
other fingertips
have any value
to flip through
every one of
your pages,

as I say this

I contemplate
if this world has
become your
anthology,

if this is the way
you can breathe
without shame
or clarification

doesn't excuse
the annihilation,

one voice isn't
the universe;

not even the sun
not even the moon
tolerates that flavour
of riddled up bollocks,

I still write you
in caricature

because nobody
here understands

why you do
what you do

or keep insisting
on everything you
must cry out to do,


I still write you
in caricature

because you
are caricature

upon caricature
upon caricature
upon caricature

doesn't that shit
ever exhaust you?

don't you ever
want to unravel

say something
that rightfully
belongs to you,

to you
alone?
