Handicapped

slow slime
nothing like before

Unto you un-glue
this ugly face. 

While I wait 
for resurrection
I may even 
pierce my own hands

Churches wither
and I make pavement

Void of answers
is my speech impediment.

It takes courage and I know that you really feel that fore I am handicapped of sort. But this incliment deduction is reminescient of when pig's fly. Your handicap is a great tool and attribute.....some may envy you dept of non-concealment -vs- your deep love for poetry and self......Keep the write-up, up! Your friend in the pen/GF
