Homunculus


within my head
another head
that holds what is
dear to me

this thing I have never seen
this thing I have never believed
behind my eyes
lies in wait

something untried
something unnamed

why can’t you see it?
why can’t you feel it?
and pull it out from within
and let me
awaken

my head cracks
and spews forth
blood
panic
and sulfur

what will we find inside?
head within another head
what if he tells the truth?
and leaves me as good as dead

behind my eyes
lies in wait
something untried
something unnamed

doctor
forceps
grasp and tug
I think I have him now

lay down
cold steel table
open our eyes
what do we see here?

uncarved soul

reached in
and pulled you out
now you look scared
helpless full of doubt
now you shed
your shadow

a breath can’t soul
but a soul can breathe
ask me a riddle
and I reply
cut to the bone

I’m cut open
and I’m free
of inner tyranny
found tranquility
uncarved soul
welcome home

year by year I must come undone
pull into me all the stars and their dust
open my body, my heart, my skull
and from the ether, a noiseless lull
what is your upmost dire believe?
its time to release it
throw it in the sea



unbeknownst
I am a vessel
incipient
the hero you will know
creating great loss
within our mirrors
reach in the dark
burning with fear

we eat our flesh
and shed our shadows
uncarved soul
welcome home
