Becoming...

Reaching

By Antoni De'LeonPublished 2 years ago • 1 min read

I dangle at quaint angles, reaching for eternity...yet afraid to touch it

I hang like seaweed and weeping willows at the periphery of heaven's gaze

I drown in unpredictable vacuums as time ticks, the clock's hand bears the stench of the thorny wreath of my inaction

My metaphors are as food for the devil's palate...I want to be the text of your being...I want to be everything!

I am becoming illegible, gender unidentifiable. Will I, one day, be like angels. Composed of a deafening contour. Inhuman!
