theheartdrinker) wrote in 
poems,
Lash me once, I'll lash you twice.
engraved on a wall;
it abounds in routine appointment with demons.
I stitch my lips 'till they are sealed
if my tongue threatens to roll into a lash:
my mouth is thusly blistered
from a familiar yawn of resignation.
And it is always that secret enemy
Silence
that sews up my little life.
