a gathering

there is no other place to put it
at this point honestly all i can do
is put it here and hope it don’t bleed
too much and too little and too tough
to keep in the pit of your stomach
at the bottom of you is where it goes
thundering your abdomen
new dreams dead dreams red dreams
christmas lights
bathing with war criminals
the sound richochets 
r - aching 
gathering 
the petrified remains of what used to be
the petrified remains of what used to be
the petrified remains of what used to be
