alien

i am an outcast in an alien world of language;
like the first droplet of rain ending its life, crashing onto a tip of the earthly world;
like that neonate covered in vermilion and black, selfishly sucking the foreign air, grasping for life.

unknown and lost in the world
where ghostly whispers of voices are closing in on me;
where the cacophonous words and laughters, like a witch's spell, are stabbing and smashing my soul;

unfamiliar tongues, like the writhing snake,
slither across and swallow me whole.
hidden in dark corner of the world of words'
drawing swords and waging wars with language.

then blankness absorbs my life, the void fills my heart;
taking away feelings of love and hate, trashing my treasurable voice.
i am no longer.







i look around and saw everything that nothing mine is.
the flowers, the clouds; the embraces, the smiles; alas, the beautiful unattainables.
then the world collapses in front of me, grayness of smoke blending in with the circumambient black.
