The Aurora Review Spring 2006

I am Foreign
Amie Winters

I am a circus
a parade of chaotic and lucid presentations
that enchances the eyes

I am a body of deception
a time bomb of mystique and torture
waiting to implode

I am a cemetery of forgotten memories
embedded with biomechanical noise
I am an intoxication not forgotten

I am the purple dots inside my closed eyelids
that chase the blackness
into an abyss of conception

I work for steel implants
and rotten sound,
for I am the treasure
I fantasize about.
