Admission
Yes it's the soundless speech
of broken bones inside my lips.
Reaping words through graves so deep
grabbing thoughts with my longest reach
and keeping those I cannot keep.
The howls of my turbulence past
that I swore never to awaken.
With every tic of every toc,
from every hand of every clock,
I creep and crawl lamenting.
Saddened by a hardship so wonderful
that splintered my lips in pieces.
Never to say another word,
to soothe a heart with lies of truth,
and recount a beggars shameful graces.
