The Human Particle

edges are better felt 
beneath the skin
the way the wind

bruises into bone
like folds of water 
through which the mind lurks

in naked silence
between gasps of ragged light
those threadbare atoms held

in a spider’s web 
the lash of winter 
in scarcity measured

where - crippled by time  
my body 
split by the darkness 
of you
bleeds blue
