Crushed Bones

a night of pain and loss

No words tonight, my foot

no loving touch or look

 

No song tonight, my tears

no excuses for these fears

 

A rhyming song of woe

but swollen eyes don't show

 

No birth or gifts of light

just struggle, yes, just fight

 

And tomorrow dawn shall come

but under covers am I shunned

 

No dove cry to be heard

no salve to be so cured

 

So farewell happy ground

I'm lost and can't be found

 

For lookers must but look

yet far from view I'm took

 

No words tonight my wrist

just ankle of soul twist

 

No song tonight my womb

nothing but this damp tomb
