                  WHO HURT YOU                                           for Janis Ian, At 17

                                                                                          It still cuts...

     Windings of bindings

          cross both of my eyes

     Deprived of the light 

          I now fast.

     From droplets of sorrows

         my memory skies

     Forgotten those storms 

         of our past.

     The rulers of light

     bending our sight

     Convinced us the velvet vice night.

     Would polish the chrome

     of the rivulets that roam

     down the orphan cheeks

                           shivering in fright.

     Tied to the spired

          railway tracks in my mind 

    I fear ominous storms 

                                     from afar.

    Train tattooed skins.

       Food scraps in crow bins.

           Deep cravings

                          for just one more scar.

     Wakes to the day

          Sepsis soul on the dew

     of the bilge stones

          That hail  hells homes.

          My lingering clue

                   Through my cataract view

          Are the ghosts

                            seeking dead hearts

                                                        to Roam..

     Pain that cuts deep

          Like the boning room blades

     Familiar those slaughter room floors.

     Only you could reside 

          'neath the ink on my hide

     As your showgirls

                             surf clouds to my shores..

     Singing wet words

          loves parched   painted lips

     The truth of them

                    cleaves me in two.

     I know every rusty

                    re-used sharps bin word

     The same ones      

                              that deeply cut you.

     Disfigured faces

                   strips blood bandaged laces

     Familiar burnt forests

                                     for eyes

     Sold all that I own

          for the sad songs you'd sown

     Was I simply

                             just buying my own lies.

     Never we know

          The mind of the other

     untamed cage  fed tossed

                                       scraps of meat

     On far away moons

           I shadowed you tunes

     Then found you

                              and prayed at your feet..
