there has been a silence in my life
that has been ringing
with the furor
of gunshots.
the hot-smoked blow of air
giving birth to death in metal -
and my ears bleed a red
more red than blood.
i am deaf to all reason and numb to every feeling.
i am a doll made of dirt
and fake gold.
no marks of teeth will ever scar me.
i stand proudly with a broken back
smiling
even though
there's nothing to live for.
