Ritual Sacrifice

Keloid skin..
s c a r r e d   

                wounds so deep  

                             tattooed
                              imbued 

               c a r v e d   i n t o

               our collective
               consciousness

 

                                  s a v a g e r y :    

                                  foments agony            
                                  not forgotten how

                                   arouse memories       
                          still remembered now

 

                    threads of woven woes
                    come undone

                                            a tapestry
                of besieged confinement
                imprints terror

 

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

 

billowing canvases

     tormented souls

 

                     f l e s h   b u r n s

                     an acrid sting
                     branded and owned  

 

                     k n o t s      

                     on the cat-o-nine
                           call my name

 

                                  I ignore them .  .

 

n e u r o n s:

                    struggle
                    to forget

 

                    amnesia is salvation

 

                                 wanting not

                                to remember
                        the ritual sacrifice

 

                                      wanting not . .

                                    to remember

                                       the assault
                                          to psyche
                                                    and
                                               person
                                                    and      

                                              S O U L
