Beyond the Pale
Beyond the Pale
my life’s on repeat,
listen.
Take a seat at my table, hear told a tale of cracked feet from
walking unmarked trails of cold concrete where ground freezing
battered my being into what once was silent and now whole howls
in small undistinguished anguished pieces of stone screams,
beyond the pale, beyond the pale,
glance upon my face, my mind,
beyond the pale,
beyond the pale.
