CARVED WITHOUT STONE

  winters helpless fingers
collected and formed in the caves gape
held as a captive
chaste in eyesight
frozen without hearts beating reach
swallowed in depth
kissed on the brief breath love spat

drank so many crucifixes - my skin became the tattoo within
snow angel creeping with the dawn whisper
buried on a throne of Bone
 medicine -with the dreaming screen
cardboard homeless birthmark
clean shoes - stone suits
jagged lips on whiskey hips
 strong helpless weak open, shut
digging holes in the spongy earth 
taking a shiny steel spade
slicing the top of my skull
letting my brain fall back home
 
words should be safe
words warn
words 
they are never saved
