Camera shy by Carl Scharwath
Do not try to read my mind, else, 
you will be lost in a bustling metropolis; 
& before you can find your way home, 
your eardrums will be teeming 
with melancholic musings. 
You claim to know me, yet I am but a stranger
estranged by the silhouette I created. 
I am a fractured artifact hiding 
in an exquisite museum. I was never born
a saint. I kissed the erogenous zones of poverty.
All that is left of me is a treasury housing 
sorrowful garments. Call me a mad woman
but guess who has seen the devil’s nakedness?
So let me remain on my knees until the clouds
becomes a mother. Tending to my bruises.
