the mist of ellipses

This is new poetry, more in the spoken word style that i´m familiar with.
On paper this is less strong than when its outspoken...


cut along the dotted line
shape a figure out of mine
free the photograph from its imprint
underscoring yesteryear
lips spill left-slanting letters
puncture a holistic
glimpse
of hereafter

the unfinished to do list
the black gel-mouse-pad
slicing the restless right wrist
Make a left fist, fight back

reminiscence of become
the thing to run from
maintenance of self
often causes a brain drain

a soft-spoken person
pressing outspoken pains
drumming on his membranes
fingerspell of failure

pre-historic wounds instilled
a holographic will
voids to fill, numerous
thrust forward a future

the jewelry around my neck
a string of beatdowns
selfmade and kept safe
glued to the things i lack

demystify the seconds
the clock ticks too slow
taekwando of black soul
creation´s-fall-chokeholds

fading out the figment
of imagination
stress manicures fingernails
thoughts frown a face

manoeuvres of mind
with far fetched rhymes
cause a commotion
cutting edges blindly

cut along the dotted line
shape a figure out of mine
free the photograph from its imprint
underscoring yesteryear
lips spill left-slanting letters
puncture a holistic
glimpse
of hereafter
