Remember the dark—<br />

the warmth<br />

The placental joy of<br />

the uterus?<br />

Where is your track<br />

your purpose now?<br />

Why this journey<br />

so late in your day?<br />

Better to pause<br />

at the fleshy threshold<br />

before you have eyes<br />

to see,<br />

or voice<br />

to give—<br />

There is much to decide—<br />

Who signifies you?<br />

What comforts you?<br />

And what if any, Gods,<br />

will worship<br />

you?<br />

Nails can’t<br />

piece this skull<br />

together.<br />

No bandage is<br />

big enough<br />

to hide such a<br />

massive scar.<br />

All you are<br />

is spread out<br />

on a silver tray.<br />

And Salome<br />

will not be tricked<br />

to dance.<br />

Author bio: Brian lives in Ireland with his wife and two sleepy Pit Bulls who were<br />

rescued from a dog pound. All four moved to Ireland from New York about six<br />

months ago. Brian was an advertising executive but found the purposeful deceit<br />

and long hours disheartening. He walked out of what had become a trap and<br />

hasn’t looked back.
