Jumbled

by ERS   Dec 10, 2020


I've got books in places where there should be bones,
Words scribbled so neatly on my legs they look like scars,
Blood-pacts for a tongue,
Open doors for lips,
An a seaglass-beach for a heart,

So beaten,
Yet so soft,

I've got a thesaurus in place of a brain,
A forest of unending run on sentences,
Yet when you speak to me I can't find a single word,
