DOLORE UMANO

Tears as heavy as lead seek to drown the heart

Furiously unleashed, they release no-one

The desperate crying exposes

Human suffering

Mutating it through injured wings

Circling a fiery chasm this embodiment of pain

Falls heavily and helpless

The dissolving epidermis burns

With no lament from ruthless flames

As an angel with scorched wings is scarred

And its remains are placed on darkened ground

Ashes absorbed, digested and dried

By an endless void

An unsuspecting world

Refrains.

 

Elena Caldera
