Pale as hopelessness,
this house of skin and bones
is a prison,
an invisible jail
where coming and going
is timed
to the tainting and cleaning
of blood.

Is the soul, imprisoned in
his battered skin
also, taped by despair
to the bed where he
exposes his retched veins?

In each bag are
elixirs of hope,
two, three times a day.
No guarantees.
He is not made from
concentrate, he is fortified.
Will his shelf life
free him from waiting
in this desperate line
for used parts?

Wicked read this is. It likes me much.
