Resurrection #2; Poetry


Drowned by outgrown adulthood,

haikus wither to dull-inked veins that curl and 

snap

under pressure of another member laid to rest. 

 

Like bones, syllables line the ground,

curling

bending as 

my knees carve prints in dirt,

hands gripping spineless carcasses of

odes once intertwined-

Tufts of greyed grass breaks and snaps as another prose is 

suffocated into a coffin

 

A body now broken into pieces scattered on 

Time’s plate, 

chewed into fragments, 

spewed over old oak-

 

Recreate the stanzas that helped rebuild 

broken ribs,

sewing flaps of this heart with similes-

 

I’ll bare the lines across my chest until you’re ready.
