With a Lessening of Light
I pressed a barb
under my tongue
to remind me
I pierced glass
into my heart
to awaken a story
as blood dripped
a memory formed
in the pain and suffering
an effigy wavered
then I knew
some stories
should never be told
and forever remain
locked under my tongue
speared into my heart
and silent in eternity
