I
Follow My Brother
by
Abdullahi
M,
Etobicoke, Ontario, Canada, Age 17
I hopelessly hunger for havoc
Let destruction supersede pain,
Inside and out.
and she follows
giving a militant howl
as she desperately desires a delightful death
she lets spiteful, succumbing letters
sire an impossible solace.
I covetously
crave caustic dementia
Let pain be prejudiced to pain,
Inside and out.
and she follows
as sinfully sinuous words, slowly
swathe
her psyche
suffusing sub-rosa sentiments
as she simulates a shining smile.
and she gives
in to the non-existent pain
with a razor...
...her last words:
"In life,
I have followed in my brother's footsteps
In death, I shall do the same."
