Little animals

Love is existence reaching into non-existence and asking it to come closer, step into the fire, burn I say let’s burn together

Upon non-existence and chaos, impose order, impose good and bad. Impose cost because it has value.

I held a mirror up to nonexistence

It saw itself and was born of itself

It came into being

There, beyond, at the border of empathy

The half animal, half children were dancing

Their frenzied fearful soulless dance

Orphans with backwards speech

Like a tape rewinding

Waiting for parents who never punish

Never control

Never say no

And they never come into full being

Always trapped at twilight

Right before the perception of the eye

They want to make illusions in my mind

This is fear, this is power

But my dear I know what is fear

I swallow it whole

Like a fire eater

They wish they were hatred,

That’s what they screamed at me while throwing stones

Fear, non existence, so much in common

And so much you do not know
