Your
words cold as bones
left
from the dancing creature
you
gave birth to
You
spoke them once
(A
heart pumps steady time
unaware
it will cease)
Silent
skeleton song
Paper
white remains
A
vacant cavity
Moot
the scars
we
lived so hard for
Meaningless
words like forever redundant
in
the face of snapped-neck paralysis
Lifeblood
drained out
Vomit,
a precious lost
Bodily
dysfunction
Exclamations
screamed
and uttered
to
record living
Lyrics
remnant teeth
can
no longer chew on
or
swallow
Lump
out of throat
Dried
up tongue
Tasteless
motherless tongue
spit
out its last word
Silence
is not an acknowledgment
