Small Crime
formalities mustn't be required
i can see,
as those in authority
have retired- & just
before, they had conspired:
rise against the frailties
of corresponding legalities-
corrupt.
interrupt;
contempt for the contaminated,
lament morality & all its
weighty shame.
forgotten, so simply, every name
is a motion,
every movement's the same;
no,
is not an option. possession
passes like electricity between
flesh-
in seconds
relinquished, replaced,
sanctity suddenly
erased;
the magnitude demonstrates in
growls that climb the spine
& make the planets align.
shining down, static subtlety,
burning the already scarred;
scared,
remarkable recovery,
falling through cracks of broken land.
it isn't my fault that
i give my breath to heal the frozen
hands.
