untitled by Richard Trotter Once again, wrinkling spidery ribcage shudders like a sniper, blind suddenly standing on cardboard steps. Once again, a heart that sinks like a warhead, dead in the sea dropped from the simplest ship of weakness, when the innocent cuts you carve would heal in the morning if I need you and every pore was branded for you. 12/19/2003 Author's Note: i wrote this today on my break at work, where I did a 13 hour shift.
