Skull Cage

Skull Cage

A Poem by drea

C**k roach.
Bent knees and spine
there's been no dynamic thought to reconcile crooked body lines.

It's failing time-
personal fulfillment left its receding echo
in the annals of each vertebrate.

Pop and crack.
No imagery,
just your neck and back.

A tin tongue.
Once food is the poison you alternately kick and suck at the teat.
Blood lined gums,
the sugar doesn't nourish anyways.
Restlessness.
Consumption.
Boredom
and feelings of worthlessness.
I lost my head along the way last week.
