Life

Curve your toes and  walk the line

Your nimbleness is out of time

Crack your arms

And swell your lips

Burn your skin

And cry out loud

But never make a single sound

Crumple up what once was life

And swallow it whole like a knife.

Swallow it down

And let it's razors run deep

To cut your throat

And let you bleed.

Strong and powerful words Becky. You create dead-ends and sad vision with your words. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.
