The Howl of Vagitus.
A heroin heroine.
As the blood soaked walls
weep around us;
their tears pooling in pity
on the floor,
your scream bawls out
through the wards of whispers.
Itching its way
down hallowed halls
***
Past sniffs of judgement,
and slaps of righteousness.
All deaf to the hunt
in your call.
An insatiable thirst
crying out to be heard;
demonically mine
and now yours.
***
I hear your pain.
Born of my own.
The need of my needle
...tracking deep.
Each wretched howl
curdling my milk,
in rigor mortis
to your wake.
***
Each scream
sears the wounds
of my torn out womb.
Preparing me to leave you here.
Abandoned in hunger
Lungs raging with thunder
The scorn of my devil
in your breath.
***
Goodbye savage angel
Time to set you free.
Time to get a better start.
Though never together.
I shall love you forever.
With these scars
that replace
my lost heart.

CJ lost the plot a long time ago. Now, she writes to explore where all paths lead, collecting crumbs of perspective as her pen travels. One day, she may have enough for a cake, which will, no doubt, be fruity.

Damn, my friend. This is heart breaking. Striking, totally engaging and engrossing, despite it's truly sad theme. I would like to include this in the book. But, I wonder if it's too close to the bone? This feels very autobiographical. If not, I will choose something else, but it's a really beautiful poem.
