Ritual Sacrifice

Black ~ Blue 

Keloid skin:

                              tattooed
                               imbued 

                                                                carved into

                                                                our collective
                                                                consciousness

                                                                                                         s a v a g e r y :       

                                                                                                         foments agony            
                    threads of woven woes
                    come undone
                                           a tapestry
                    of besieged confinement
                    imprints terror

                                                                    the stench of decay
                                                                    wafts among the sails
                                                                       and rides the waves

                                                                    billowing canvases            
                                                                         tormented souls

                     an acrid sting
                     branded and owned  

                     knots . .   

                     on the cat-o-nine
                           call my name

                     I ignore them . . .

                                                                         to forget

                                                                                                         amnesia is salvation
