Ugly Beauty


 What is beauty to you? 

Is it the sight of your moon, or the bliss of forgetting that it only reflects your radiance?

Is it the sound of a melody sung by an equally tone-deaf yeller?

Is it the softness of the petal that has infinite smooth spikes?

Is the tiny string that tugs away your worries not a spectacle? 

Is the well-articulated thought not a melody?

Touch I will give you, for my spears line with blood

of all who yelled me ugly.

Do they not see the beauty

with which I uphold those spears, digging into my chest

so that it be soft as petals for you. 

Is the irony of our distance

Beautiful enough for you?
