The Devil I know

Florin Dragoș Minculescu 1978 (România)

Free verse
I know people by the scars on their heart.
I know people by the hate from their eyes.
I know people by the pain of their past.
I know devil,
It's me.

I know people by the poison of their tongue.
I know people by the screams of their whisper.
I know people by the roughness of their caressing.
I know devil,
It's me, when I'm out of The Way.
