Domus Mundi
ANTHONY C. BRAY
Feel the dirt beneath my fingers
Taste the soil inside my mouth
Muscles screaming, soundless cries
Silent staring, a thousand eyes
Blood is pumping through my veins
Tendons tearing while fragile life remains
Ears are bursting, sight filled with dust
Cry out in pain, when will this end?
Choking nightmares
Bleeding eyes
Hollow voices
Silent cries, I win
Blood is pumping, sight unseen
Silent prayer from lifeless lips
My ears are bursting, a mother's cry
Blood that from a still heart drips
Where I wander, do you follow?
If you cut me, do I bleed?
Do we die with each single exhalation?
Born again with newly savored breath
Choking nightmares
Bleeding eyes
Hollow voices
Silent cries
Choking nightmares
Bleeding eyes
Hollow voices
Silent cries
