Subtle
A Scorn Identity - #8
Fortitude sought me out today.
I have danced with her before,
I was consumed by her underneath the starless night.
From a distance, I could hear my teardrops.
*
They fell. They fall.
I grow up prideful in my stance.
rejected the pleads of the roaring clouds above,
I ignored my cries from below.
*
Her crimson alarm skin.
A dream-like serenade escaped her fleshly pores.
Yet, I beheld her wit.
She replied, “you dare?”
*
Hold me in this manner,
Her voice grasps my waist.
“Don’t leave me behind the closed door”.
For this moment, I dare not put aside.
*
Delighted by my unworldly comfort.
No longer beside myself.
Her so-called modesty,
I am once again in her servitude.

I took my son and niece to Gori, a small town in Georgia where Joseph Stalin was born. They talked me into visiting the Stalin's Museum, the largest in the post-Soviet space. I had resisted going there because I just can't stand the monster and know enough about him, or so I thought.
