Disfigured

Tattooed upon my
body

bloody seals
and each pock
marked generation
eating purple
spewing juice

sound of eagles
maggots hawk
deer frenzied
ants

appear like tree branch
motion moving
alive

disfigured

conspicuous

within a frame
a second

brown borders
finely sanded
smooth
lacquered

invisible grain
of sand on eye of
wind

turning

wind rain hammer
ubiquitous

strike anvil of back
on clanging forge
dimensions shrink
perceptively

origins thin lines
collect connect all
things struggling under
hammock of stars sun moon
perceptivity

mother father sister brother daughter
son

carried always carrier torn
and old
hunchbacked rucksacked
blissful

beaming out in simple words
carved into mountains of
time
into fabric of skin
of soul.
