Literature Text

I felt the ghost hand's hold.
In the morning,
when I fetched my coffee,
my hands turned to claws,
my wings ugly and grey, singed with smoke.

When you woke you stepped through the halo,
and your eyes gleamed.

How long have we lain?
And what beasts have we made?

I will fester and become more.
I have grown inside of you,
and soon my hands will be yours to command.
And soon my heart will redouble,
pumping both our blood.

I will walk through my days in silence.
My voice has already gone over.
To my back the thunder will roar, and I will bow,
my back flexed, my muscles moving.

Soon my body will lay supine, and the lightning will consume.
Tomorrow I will wake up.
Tomorrow I'll be you.
tomorrow.

very interesting read. only thing that bothered me was With the night gone, will you notice
the lack of light from my eyes?


seemed a bit simple and overdone, and not quite fitting with the rest of the poem (if this poem were made of colors, those two verses would be yellow, whereas the rest of the poem would be orange).

I like orange.
