I am the lost heart of a murderer


I sit in the forest talking of death
which is monotonous:
though there are many ways of dying
there is only one death song,
the colour of mist:
it says Why Why I do not want revenge, I do not want expiation,
I only want to ask someone
how I was lost,
how I was lost I am the lost heart of a murderer
who has not yet killed,
who does not yet know he wishes
to kill.
Margaret Atwood
