FINGERNAILS 1

The most delicate blades
of impoverishment
the heart's last-gasp utterer
of all the words that won't get said
all the hurt that will not heal
the whisper
of a love as thick as anger
or thicker still
thick beyond memory
and so resolved to die
in the poverty-stricken body-edge
that says so much
and nothing.
