Shame - by Noctuary

return to Noctuary's poetry index

 

we who sugfger understand many things
like thre cruelty of God
the seduction of darkness
the delusion of sleep

qwe understand all too werll the face of hell
we wake and wrap our demons like shawls around us

we carry our shame to the outside
and lay them down beside us to sleep
we wait patiently for them
to join us in our nightmares.
