A Woman In The shadows
Born 1981, F, from -, CyprusA Woman In The shadows
I am a woman in the shadows cast off by your light.
I beg you for the bread of understanding,
But am given your empty words to eat,
I swallow sickly ignorance in madness,
And in feverish delirium I praise you as I vomit myself out,
Now hollowed,
I invite you in.

A Woman In The shadows
I am a woman in the shadows cast off by your light.
I beg you for the bread of understanding,
But am given your empty words to eat,
I swallow sickly ignorance in madness,
And in feverish delirium I praise you as I vomit myself out,
Now hollowed,
I invite you in.

12/16/2020I can't even articulate how brilliant this piece is. But, the first word that comes to mind is 'magnificent'. The depth of feeling here is palpable. Both alluring and repellant, this poem punched me right in the chest. What a remarkable gift you have. : )
