firma


I have carved your name
into my hand. the mutability
of the knife’s destruction
is an impure silence, a
wisdom that knows what to take
and sometimes leaves enough.

I have defaced
my god, rewritten flesh
to accept the alignment of bone
and gristle, a massacre
of fingers to lie
down along the
spine of you receiving
your perfect symmetry.
