I am poured out like water,
And all my bones are out of joint;
My heart is like wax,
It is melted within my breast
Psalm 22
Bonehead Series
July 2010


Wreck
Around the heart
This fractured cage
(Distorted in fall)
Drags
Flesh aching
Unawake
Senses
Sinewed
Torn
Worn
(falling apart)
With time.
Heart Song
Falling
Falling
I call
To the wild.
Return to bookshelf.

Accidental
Inside my head
A plate has
Smashed
Crashed
Dropped
To the floor
Down
To my core
In pieces.


Dis/orientation
Still
Here –
Direction
True north –
Possibilities
Like spokes
Spike
From this path
Of least
Resistance.
Bonehead
Buried
Deep
In my bones
Numbered
Rememberings
Encode
The palimpsest
Of flesh.
