Wound Eraser

I's are replaced, and you remain
Lost limb collection: Arms and legs
Who spits on history and halts the living
Will yawn for you

Once called earth foe; my, how you've grown
No progress shown, draw your breath slow

Wound eraser, remove/delete
Life defacer, sang you to sleep

Quiet attrition
Buried between your ears
Too much for one head:
Your brain is a monument

Made a life in rubble
Exhausted the options
The new void empties its other

The quiet in deadlock
The one that makes you sleep

Chimeras have become
Your worst memories
The clumsy reach through darkness
Where hands meet their reason for being
