Neglected flesh!
Every Pore
Sealed with the tears of a thousand
Empty days.
Hardened and exempt from
Feeling, from touch that would
Turn pallor.
Remove Scars,
Allow blood to flow and wipe
Away the tedium,
The numbness
Of feeling
Nothing!
Flesh!
Flesh that has felt the touch of many
And yet the love of none.
The promises of a thousand
And the guarantees of not one!
Arteries that have hardened every
living cell petrified, a coffin encasing
Remnants!
Days upon days of darkness
Fuelled by delusion, lest the agony
Of facing the truth
Brings weakness into survival.
Then one moment!
One simple moment, a
Drop of warmth and
Flesh!
Is given a name!
And Respect
Brings in a new day!

| It's been a while since I've come across your work. It's like the cookie jar on top of the frig, when you were little. You know it's there and you desire it, but you're unable to get it yourself. You have to wait for someone to ration it out to you. :) This was a real treat. As always, excellent work. |

Really interesting write this,read over it many times now trying to get your true meaning,I can't say here what I've come up with as it would be slightly explicit..Anyway I guess it doesn't matter whether I'm right or wrong,It matters that it spoke to me.
Another great, thought provoking write.

Hi Anna,
Dark and doleful. If it means what I think it means
then it probably speaks for most of us - and again
if it means what I think it means, then most of us
have been both victim and perpetrator ..... that is,
if most of us who would care to admit it.
