My body
disembodied step by step,
no disambiguation
or neutral observers
to go oy
or shush or protest
disunited piece by piece,
arms disarmed,
legs lanced and amputated,
yet ***** lives on,
chest and head,
and doesn't protest,
or angry curse fate
someone staunches
the ****** words,
the ****** tenants
of the boastful remnants
cry out
*beaten you
in every way
as long as chest beats
and tip of tongue
coexist,*
I am more than whole
I am undefeated,
nor is ended silence, a white flag of surrender,
my words live on...
