Sister

to be everyone we see we wish to be
spoilt infidelity was the fragrance 
of our tragic continuum century 
of longing longing thee
favored face dressed in 
tailored knit smiles on Tuesday’s sin 
oh father are we seen 
as the misery kin 
ants rise on Lilies
in the teary meadow land 
we shall remain oh rightfully damned 
Blistering coils of copper tension make haste 
tangy veins peel back their mantle 
to self inject a poison of good-natured taste 
shudder of the mind 
with fine paper cut wrinkles
we make fingernail grind to season the sense 
breaking spoons for chains and stakes 
head loss of screws 
We should shatter the bones within him 
And break the ill-tempered man 
As we once found 
Ourselves 
Broken
