Inappropriate Contemplation

Inguna Brože

Consider hell instead of haven
But keep your lips tight
Or else indeed all hell will break loose,
Some people faces would look similar
To that of Munch’s “The Scream”
In their outrage,
Some fingers would be tapping foreheads –
Expressively,
There could be those
Looking for a particularly nasty stone
To do away with this blasphemer.

Whatever threats, still I insist
I’d choose the hell
Thus ridding myself free from
Tepidity and moderation,
Monotony and meekness –
Instead of passion and desire,
Fulfilment, satisfaction –
Free from those who cheated at the gate.

I don’t belong to people
Who turn their other cheek for blows
Nor am I willing to forgive
Anyone and for everything.

So much revealed and said
There comes the truth:
We all
Will either turn to dust
Or else go up in smoke.
