justice

slide down the escaped reason
the thread of a thief bewilders me
I am penniless in the form of such gods
expel me from the wind
until my blindness clearly
holds the rope
and I suspend like a spider
down
my words are wordless defecations
and my ears are picked clean
in the null air
assemble me into the toy of your heart
and I will play your songs
in the deaf clang of truth,
answer me one question
and I will love you
more than all the stars  hidden from justice.

Lovely

And very profound. It resonates with me. My favorite lines: assemble me into the toy of your heart and I will play your songs in the deaf clang of truth, answer me one question and I will love you more than all the stars that hide from justice. Always, Cat
