The Human Motto
Carla Asencio
Embrace the smoldering chill of pain
let its fingers rain upon the skin
leaving rivers of numbness as a signature.
Sign the heart away to frozen compassion
its icy attraction irresistible to ignore
unallowing growth by burning the soul.
Torture the spirit with immortal life
its sporadic crashes eagerly awaited
relaxing tensions of breaking the cycle.
