Right between the ribs...
And on the sternum
Two rusty pointed nails
Drive tandem
To hold me captive
On a cross
An elephant's abdomen
Hangs hollow, degutted
Sagging from the torso
Children had resided once
Did it hurt you
When you drove those nails in?
I saw you bleed and it hurt me
If I could get off the cross
I could embrace you
Wipe my blood from your hands
Kiss your forehead
I would whisper
How you mean a galaxy to me
But I hang suspended
Neither here nor there
My mouth with excrement
Cannot utter poems
Just typical feelings
If only I could reach
I could lick your tears away
I can't now
Not anymore after the sentence.
