Once muscled, lean
Hang beneath a lost smile
Faded boy
Short fingered hands
Wringing like yours
I listened from far away
To your "shoulds" and "didn'ts"
Staining brilliance
Failures misconceived
Smash and burn the rotten priests
Who keep the wheels on Shame's
Where peace once was
Before we came
Just say one good thing
Put your ear to the ground
Drain the gruel you kept feeding
Ants see you
Crows above your body
Remain silent
