Prometheus Bound

If only to be

Nobody!


Tongue screaming in profane loops

Eyes cracklingmy soul a vacuum

Laugh, laugh, fire, burn

ha h- HA HA-HA


If indeed ever you were


I still cry

I still scream 

For you, the only me that never was WIS-

DOM


But I know you see, look at my chest it's bare


           INATES me, my self, 

BLINDS ME TO THEM the others

their colors


I know nothing.

I know nothing.


STOP


I was something, once.


PROMETHEUS BOUND I AM

It is not you who must fall,

A fiction of brickwork that claims to build you

Blinds you, SHACKLES YOU
