Title: Phantom limbs
Date Submitted: 6/8/2008

 
Poem: Old scars ache like phantom limbs.
Burning blade against the breast.
Nerves cut, history buried,
mercury seeps through broken skin.

Treading carefully with phantom limbs,
white elephants to hide.
Blackness wrapped in silence
anonymity.
A clearway heavily policed....
