PARALYTIC
<p>I am paralysed, silent, stuck<br />
in a shadow behind this mountain<br />
I scurry into a winter-valley:<br />
Dried up, shrivelled, weather-beaten:<br />
Rock- hidden fossils, time set in stone.</p>
<p>Evolutions of Medusa’d scare the shit out of me<br />
Even if I wasn’t afflicted by a peculiar petrified decay.<br />
she gazed all the way into me<br />
rubbed away something, eternally lost.</p>
<p>Stains dry and calcify<br />
deep in these highland bogs<br />
I sink into a quagmire-swamp of guilt, regret<br />
Spilt water, wine, I forget, what caused this<br />
disturbance in the weather?<br />
We are no longer together.</p>
