Scar Tissue Calligraphy

Counting crows crackle to be free
The cauterized blessing you sold to me
Hangs by the door nail in tombstone majesty

What did we say
When blackholes stripped breath away
Are the promises murdered in flight
Sharpening again in poise of night

Electronic souls dash and torn
The emblem of false exchange is born
When you gave what we agreed
Something missing in hearts seeking relief

Now the misused caliber rocks and treads
Calligraphy on the wall, stories we feed
When rumination pursues without ease
Or tear from history when we please
