Untitled (For Now)
A snow seeps black
Infinite flakes ignite amber red
Turning curving swurving
Drift to white
Fast
An all or nothing blur
Too too fast of a drive
Take a gander with
permanent hold on sight
Guts drop, walls tower
A head flops, my own
Sending me down down down down
Internally nowhere to go
Stone worms never crawfish
in a clocks work
In other words,
My scars don't retreat
Not ever, not today
Unwanted attention seeks
to rest coiled in skin
A home for "Tiny Tim" and "Jim"
Not to be rude
People keep quiet
Their silence louder than words
Making me feel nude
How ironic...
Although it doesn't matter
Shouldn't matter
They don't need to know the truth
What does, should matter
is what fits secure around my wrist
Below tower walls
Below the stone worms
Below seeping black snow
A bracelet given; a purpose served
Six stars inbetween the black and white
Low underground
A simple steady lay
Their names:
Acceptance
Forgiveness
Hope
Courage
Love
And Faith
They all say
"Never never never quit."
Words I hold close to heart
So I promise you this,
"I'll never never never forget
and I won't quit."
