It Kills

Smiled, she gave me the grade.
I unfolded the card and there I saw
The paper was filled with red
Lines, waves, marks and points

My eyes opened wide without a blink
That the room was covered
My heart stopped pumping
I can’t breathe easy

Her pen flew nearer and closer to me
Slowly it stubbed my forehead,
My eyes, mouth, chest,
Stomach, legs and feet

On my hand was the card
It was bloody red
Gradually it flooded
Went up above my head –
I’m drowned.

Terminator

Medals, ribbons well thought-out posted;
Faulkner’s, Hemingway’s orderly filed;
Frost’s, Shakespeare’s on desk arranged;
Lights on; curtains up; windows were opened.

A paper, in core of four corners:
Anger with puckered brow, crumpled;
Stabbed by Two, blood filled lines.
With Uni pointing toward me, crawled.

Hands clasped shook betw’n legs quirkily –
Heart quivered the town furiously,
Eyes expand as Harvard University –
Dark flesh altered t’ whitest snow abruptly.

To my chest – seven times stabbed
A splash of blood traversed nations
To my eyes – Uni’s leisurely penetrated
Penetration to an eye took hours

To my hands until it left me
To my feet until it left me

Medals, ribbons, precious lost the Power
It’s a Tragedy for me to see all were over
All species and future bade goodbye forever
