a salty whisker won't hurt anything..
neither time nor indifference
could muster a defense
too quickly, heart betrayed brain.
mother mourned
a bright eyed boy
whose mouth had caved
and whose tongue was severed.
knuckles rheumatoid-
fists clenched,
protesting loss in off places.
ten crags in search of the sea.
in deference to this, to his-
to him--
heart eats night colored wallscapes
of its own lone shadow.

mourning
it was cancerous-neither time nor indifference
could muster a defense
too quickly, heart betrayed brain.
mother mourned
a bright eyed boy
whose mouth had caved
and whose tongue was severed.
knuckles rheumatoid-
fists clenched,
protesting loss in off places.
ten crags in search of the sea.
in deference to this, to his-
to him--
heart eats night colored wallscapes
of its own lone shadow.
