to go on living

This is a found poem taken from Flowers in the Attic
by V.C. Andrews.

from the room cuts ache and spring me
until tears and wonderful newborn garden

who was I until pain began living
I flung twin aches to myself

the rubbing cried the heart for hurt          he alive
cried worse          there the oceans tore from moon down

the mother down          a heard chance made footsteps
into swollen tears and red fists

that experienced many old eyes          how I blood soft
beat back house of fragrances

coming of millions with my breezes          come out horned stars
              then flung my sweet all over
