words of twilight
If my eyes darken
ears ring silence
tongue rolls away numb,
scents freeze on its’ tracks
fingers and toes lay limp
caged within a body
like a tomb of flesh.
Only breathing
Breathing
My body fed on by each breath
will quiver
Quiver with everything I write.
With every pulse and surge of my blood
I will create
waves upon waves around me.
Just from a quiver
of a cell.

Thank you! ❤

Did you delete Flesh of Nature? I read it in my emails and was about to comment this: Rafia, your hand is incredible and honest. Your words are tangible and lifelike. I like that, “life-like”. You don’t conform to glib and rhyme.
I loved it, especially the verse : “Come fellow Earth dwellers..”
It made me feel want to fasten my sandals and gather pitchfork and drum.
