Wounded

Wounded

She is wounded
Deaf and dumb
Stronger than most.

Write this prophecy down
Write it with teeth and eyes
Write it in menstrual blood.

Skywriting for the birds
Musicians covered in feathers
The Great American novel shit.

He is immortal
Ragged and dirty
Stupider than most.

Build a Church in your heart
Build it with your third eye
Build it on sand.

We are wounded
Injured and spiraling
Stranger than strange.

Charlie 1/3/07
