the many words spoken with foreign tongues
they blind thine eyes
poisonous tendrils
shot out from behind stained teeth
stinging the flesh of its victim
never quite sure of the damage caused
--
bruises left by fists
beating into cushion like skin
what is wished to be bone
black & blue pigments
not noticed
for they are softened by
neutral skin tones
smeared on top
--
intoxication rushing through veins of blue
hoping to shut out the words burned into our:
skin
eyes
brains
by beings other than ourselves
but feelings intensify
judgement now clouded
the jigsaw puzzle fits together
pieces have been bashed
into place
mashed together with a hammer
now it is "good enough"
