Loveless Day Poem by Stefanie Fontker

Destroying any heart that once lived,
Soundly and peacefully in your chest.
To wish for the end of ignorance
And the justice of the painless is not
A dream one could truly name evil.

Begging for less than a day of hurt,
Unable to feel for the pretty ones,
The butterflies that live in your garden.
Only ever fantasizing and touching yourself
To the vision of their amputated wings.

We are all violent upon the brink of bloodshed.
