Brittle Boned

the heavy dread hiding

crouching behind my organs

 

the familiarity of the heavy metal

weighting down every bone

 

calcium lacking its efficiency

every molecule so brittle

 

each cell overflowing with thick liquid

reaching the edge

 

pouring like rain sent by the holy

I collect each drop on the palm of my hand

 

anticipation taking over

leaving my insides hollow
