My distant forgotten relative Invited herself into my world I thought she’d only stay for a cup-a-tea A pleasant final evening visit And I’d shut my door without resentment Never knew she traveled so heavily Digging from the graves fragments of the past Exploring the depths of a dark well Only to find her self pushed down the tunnel By a deteriorating translucent figure I told her to keep the evil dwellings at bay But she scraped the bowl clean of all its contents Left me to rinse her hands clean of the defilement She dug out on purpose… I never asked to coddle fragility When I desperately needed a tender hand To clear the fog around my disposition And wipe the dew collecting around my eyes Before they splattered onto the land Exiting the world as another tear shed Without an indifference
