YOU ARE A MAN

Life comes at you first
Fast and furious
You twitch and turn
Contortedly you slide through
This peephole
You forgot it’s a one-way
So you can’t see back
But you feel and suspect
No?!
You know
Your feet is dangling
Beneath

Your neck breaking
Cracking ….. …..
You cry .... Silently
Your shoulders stuck
Behind the wooden frame
Soaked but unrelenting
And you cry the more
Silently still
You are a man
So you must cry
Only silently

Here you are now

Hanging out with mortality
A place you don’t belong
You should have asked
All the while I was here
Beside and behind you
Before you
You should have asked
Let it out and breath with ease
Share …
But you were a man
Now here you are
Hanging out with mortality
A place you don’t belong

You should have asked
