Wake - Kadhja Bonet

She has no smell to speak of

No sound can model ears

She never gives the warning pass

As certain as she needs

She favors little children

And doesn’t feel remorse

She doesn’t care how much you care

She doesn’t have a chose

Colder than a killer stare

She never falls asleep

She takes from everything

A memory to keep

A bed of dust and metals

A fane of Persian fear

She gets the best olive oils

Who cannot pay in years

She was there before you noticed her

And she’ll be there when you don’t

You wake as she is passing by

Feel nothing when she goes

A bed of dust and metals

A fane of Persian fear

She gets the best olive oils

Who cannot pay in years
