awaiting glue
fixing nothing
to be fixed.
Broken never Broken
stolen losing focus
pressed upon me:
The Past Everlasting
saline blasting
hearts smashing
mine from behind,
breaking knives
inside my insides
torn intestines
splitting jagged veins
blood stains:
what happened
back there,
that library of pain
walled before
I could read;
locked before
I was able to see
reality
of which there Is
One. Locked bleeding.
reality of which
there is none.
Walls stained scarlet-red
I remember
inside always December
dead without buds
dying without love
a life left behind,
my youth not mine.
Now they smile at me,
“disabled”
I am–
–to them
my blood they are
by blood they bled
I bleed their blood.
Should’ve been a son
I’d have seen the Sun.
