open your mouth --- wider
there, those are bones
roots known by the flesh
look at your fingertips
they too bear the bone
scrim ***** coverings, ten of them
the scar on your skin
observe it
harm came to you
visited you - did you
re
member
it?
or did you
bottle it
and set it to
the dark green
murk beneath?
is it a part of you
that you shun? embarrassed
by its inarticulate language
curling and lunging
discolored other?
animal, listen
your mouth noises: mere symbol
your thoughts:
brief shimmer o' the surface
this is black
you are but blue
that is all
