Discourse: A Poem

Description

My hands are sweaty as
I try to pull out the words
From my back pocket.
Faulty & tied to my
Bones,
Crossed out in red ink
They crawl,
Sharpened edges perforating
My skin into Braille,
Up & deep into the hollowed
Shell of my mouth
Only to speak to you
And my hands-
Shivering & cold
Try to suppress
What they can-
What they let go but now
The sentences are
Like water on skin
& my hands are still
As words lunge out
From me into
The air
Flaming & dancing
In cursive script
In feisty blood of red
Ink
Into the stark sky of blue
Only to rain
Down & drown everything
That was &
Is
& will be.


An illustrated poem, so to say.
