Oh bloody fist,
pounding against a
cage of ribs in
expectation.

You chip away
at tear-stained bone
that refuses
to rupture into
submission.

So tightly curled,
unyielding in
sultry red light
flecked with
gore of past fights
and searing
with unexpelled potential.

Oh bloody fist
beating the nights awake
making my body shake
to a rhythm of
impossibility.

Oh bloody fist
you need a shock
to make this
flagellation
stop-

But then, so would I.  


'I feel like an animal, and I don't think that I get it. But one day I'll see you around.'

Well then, there is something to think about. I love this poem, it is going into my library, and not very many poems do. I'm somewhat speechless, I have no idea what to say, I am awestruck. Wonderful!
