RATTLING BONES AND PERSPIRATION
Rattling bones and perspiration
Healed old wounds.
Every broken breath's brand new again
Took several takes that
Tore and mangled.
Fear twisted dreams into ghosts
Untouchable, far away.
Felt like forever since the last
Touch of dark beauty;
Smell of sweet, beautiful sin.
Thoughts burgeoned:
Unbidden,
Unwanted,
Unstoppable.
.
Rattling bones and perspiration
Wanted
Hated
Changing lives and configurations
Wrecking lies
Baring all.
