Milk-white crystals sharp
Stabbing into the soft meat of my heart
Into its unnassuming pulp of tissue
Its crystalisations of defensless blood
Blood that you slowly sucked and drawed
Trough no plaster patches and no pat on the shoulder after
The fall of the bike, or the banging on the door
I feel and will feel forever the wounds carved into the heart of a child
A pulsing wound that will continue to grow, get infected
every day, all the time, until the day i die
Even with you gone, there will be the (sharp) milkwhite crystal-shards that I could silently try to pick out
but you know how these things are
Meat is thick (and splinters grow thin(ly in))
And I will carry this wound on my back, like a wet cloth, a string of stones, a symbol of time
Like you have carried a wound on your ribs, and your mouth from your mothers mother and her mothers mother
On and on and on
Like a sword through time
Like a needle through the bodies waiting in line, like a queue
And I will carry it too, for you have given it to me
Wherther you knew it or not, wherther you knew you were hurting or not
And it makes me neauseus how I might see another that I love, grow into such a life
I hope with all the fires in my heart,
bowing to the sparkling orange sun/sparkling orange like the sun
You will not have to feel it all
On my knees to the stars
I know at least with me, where I can move and see (move my head and my hands up my ribs and feel where my heart is there is that sharp point under the skin like a silver knife) and where there is a point moving from my own chest into time
I will cover it with cotton and pillow and clay
And if I ever had a daughter
I would make sure her back was washed and whole and soft and washed
