The Stranger

the moth didn't go close
enough to get burned,
what is written on the wall 
is the embedded norm,
formidable as tsunami

bloodletting as cure
is later abandoned.

the taught half-thruth
must be emptied
to make room for
this new guest

the leeches are relentless,
this desolate stranger
inside wants to die,
in flames to live
a life once more.
