~~Inside Out~~

~~~~~Inside Out~~~~~
Original colored pencil drawing by Felicia Lujan
~~~~~July 2012~~~~~


Behold red stitches for they have
popped ~ reveal an oasis from within.
Great saboteur tether hearts and
stars ~ this is your greatest sin.

Furred with gimmicks, the basting
did give and yanked me inside out.
Outgrowth of feelings ~ emptiness,
fatuous without a single doubt.

Orchestra of nothingness meant
to rip my hearty chest apart.
Laconic one ~ zigzags were
gone right from the very start.

Redoubtable ~ the fire is strong,
flames burn batting while I shout.
There is no need grand saboteur,
but just to jilt me inside out.
