Sacrifice

This time we are still
As silent as ever;
Unmoving spoon,
Sock uneaten sweat immobile
Stomach empty

Sacrifice –

The easy-freedom
The ever-so-quiet mouth

made bland the newspaper

job listings

Give up quit let go
Honestly the free go slow

lying down

The poverty of
Stolen hands rest
Rotting skin boat and armies;

Pretending my jacket's convenience
In Summer
Is convenient for nothing?
