Blank Slate

A blank slate thirsty for ink
parched if not for a drop of 
blood from a flaming pen

write on me in rubescent
sears the choler you hold 

line by line pour out
the darkness that engulfs you
sable as the space
between stars

fill me with the songs 
you sing in the hush
of the dawn

over and again
again and over
until you cover my
every inch
and make me
black as night

drown me with
all the words you failed
to breathe out 
choke me with
all the thoughts
which asphixiate you

when you can write no longer
take up the pen 
fill it with white ink and 
cover me again
