What do I do now with my mouth ,
It’s stitched in white cotton thread?
Now that my words have been dipped
in blue bleach to clean my wicked thoughts
What way do I turn now to drop
my battered life to the ground for inspection?
Introspection limited to soft cell meals
for public consumption, frozen foods.
can I see you uncensored, undone, alone?
can I see you naked and vicious, hate on fire?
Or are you just the gray ghost silhouette
showing through the rice paper changing wall?

Re: Censorships
This is imaginatively expressed, your imagery here effectively exposes the consequences of censorship. Impressed.
