DASH BENHUR
I declared it
rubbing out the resentment in me
to have a taste of it
on any idea coming the way
accepting me
let me make earth a heaven
heaven an earth
for everything is earth
all that is glossy and expectant
cosmeticised and robust
skillful and valiant
decomposed and coiled to earth
I wish to enjoy the truth
that is for me
because yours and mine have
the same death.
