INKPOT

Unannounced

Aditi Sigar

It was art, a crimson spree liberal with shots. None had posed more unhurriedly, beaux. Unabashedly I asked, "Monsters, monsters on the wall, is this my humor afterall?"

Hollow my heart forever echoes The limitless infinity Hostage to thee scars beyond effigy

Touch not the edge, I’m ablaze The holy fire, the chanting gargoyle My religion, a new gospel

Pagan emotions, mediaeval institutions The new crusade, the new fiend Unapologetic like the wind Repent why leave it unknown

Beguiled the mind desires A deity lovelorn, my truth Not what men have thought And nothing sweeter.
