Ramblings...

called 

out of blurred motion

dizzy spinning

falling

i am burning up

scabs crack and bleed on my feet

i have been moving

 in this tar patch

for so long

my clothes are shreds

that sway and stagger

the door slam shuts

and 

i fall

 to the threshold

palms supplicating

watching my lifeline

crawl and fade into the cracks

hard silence like knives

and broken screams on the steps

are all i see

i feel

the desert encroaching

the sand beginning to cover my raw feet

deep 

are the wounds in my belly

vast

 the pain that claims me

you who are not here

you who do not hear

speak 

stumbling

falling forth from your lips

the imsorry that drips

like honey

down my thighs

like blood

from my mouth...EAC
