body

the taut tendon tight.
orchestral strings of my life
in a sharp minor.

winter solstice blues.
too cold to play the twelve bars.
strumming my cold spine.

jolly old man with beard
sneaking into children’s rooms.
worry… ho ho ho.

grease the groove with sweat.
feed machine with blood and tears.
sculptor sculpt body.

battling the unseen.
riddled with tiny devils.
desolate revolt.

the choices we make.
the rope we hang ourselves with.
so easy to die.
