Metal Fingers
October 12, 2014
the narrow smile has been stretched
along the child’s laminated face.
feet, clownish on the grounds they walk
uneasy on.
he heard them talking to each other
in the tongue of shrieks
into the sea of his ancient pains.
the sun turned black the day his heart did.
the flashing remarks sounded like
police sirens below his criminal skin
beyond the mirrors,
beneath the skin
the blood runs thin.
the eager stroke of metal fingertips along his skin.

This ... is just absolutely, amazing. It's so intense and just beautiful. It's phenomenal. I can feel the emotion and the rawness, it's just there. You put yourself into it, when you wrote it; you put your soul into it. This is just perfect. I think thsi should be published. It just has so much, in it. Emotion. Rawness. Talent. Beauty. I could even hear the screeching of the metal fingers in my ears, and it made my fingers tingle. Haha, this is just, absolutely wonderful. You really do, have such a talent and greatness and light in you. You are na amazing and wonderful and talented writer and person. It's just, so true. Thank you so much, my friend! For sharing this. Thank so much, again! :)
