The Cryptic
Keeper.

Search for My

thinly veiled
Concubine
Of syllabic
Silhouettes.

In Any
Language,

they Lounge
The same-

-Just here.

Men love
to tinker
With you

As if
You’re
Not there.

They want
You to
Be there
For it;

Displaying
No part
Of you
For Yourself.

Breaking
Master peace,

Bastardize
The beauty
To Become
The Beast.

Claw and
Starve her
Insatiable.

When
Absent

They Conjure
A mimic;

Supposing
[And posing]

your replica

To absolute
Finish.

——

There is
No safety
On the paths

Of the
Mouths,
Eyes,
Or ears

Of men

Carved
Into being(s).

The
wreckage

Seeps
and Spoils

All Things
Once
Beautiful.
