before your body goes - Field Medic

Taking time to be

A small person

Still the same boy bent up

The ocean’s my chorus

Our love lays before us

I’m twisted not useless…

So I gotta face the page

Instead of cracked ribs on the pavement

This retaliation’s ignorant at best

And it’s no wonder why I can’t see

The poetry in anything

I’m a vessel for my own uncertainty

Ugliness swallows

And shrieks like a crow

While beauty fades out

Of the bay window

God damn your ego’s gotta die

A thousand times

Before your body goes…
