‘peering through’
(from 'dead bird')
no childhood to fall back on
small wonder i fear cliffs
sterilized by the book
i made myself fertile
across a page;
am i beautiful
a bruise is a knuckle
unaware of the patient hand
so truth slurs sometimes
through lips stained red
and the bars of this cage
allow more room than they should
silence is like darkness
unwanted, but coming.
