Limbless


Broken entity
Far removed
Still can
Feel it’s former

Severed limb
To where
It’s unknown
Yet the body
Feels as if one
Day it will come home

But the mind, it won’t lie

Softer over
Lavish green
Resides a dwindling
Mountain of white

The melt is but enough
To remind you
What’s been lost and
What remains

The Bully

Diatribe forged
Forgotten in
Fundamental fashion

Knowledge learnt
best be disposed of
according to the warning
on the bottle it came in

Brickyard thumping
As the bully finds
conjugation reason enough
to berate you before his
congregation there

Sawdust tears stream
from beyond the blackish smog
turning on the brute
in a steal from you and give to me

But bloodied, broken and bruised
I can sit in this crimson pool
knowing that
you can't
know

I can smile those imperfect pearls
and watch as you strut the circle
Praying I stand back up
but I can smile still
in knowing
that you
will never
know

And when you flex your arms
Your body looks like a trident
yet you would never know
that Neptune
ruled the seas

and we're on land-
dry and barren
land

And I smile
For I understand

The body
typically
wears down
much quicker
than the mind
