Poetry

Stone by stone you kill me. 
Petal by petal I die - 
 
 
holding a scalpel 
to unwrite my name. 
 
Violence 
erupts among words. 
A temple breaks. 
O goddess! don't cry beyond silence. 
 
The infant's milk 
spills in darkness. 
Antiquity raises a wall 
around the mother. 
 
I am vanishing now, 
freezing my assets.
