These hands of mine:

Weapons of defense

Tools of creation

Extensions of emotion

Beacons of pain.

In lonely silence

Swirling vultures strike

A feast for days.

Numbed by pain

Determination falters

Darkness seeps.

In crushing pause

Love surrounds me

Accepting breath.

From the darkest hole I climb

Six syllables at a time.

My voice cries out!

Betrayed from within

And breath.

Invisible tears

Neither fall off nor on

To deaf ears.
