resilliant
resistant
persisting
through disillusionment

a tin can telephone
sending
missed calls
to inattentive ears

an important message
carved into
young flesh
to fester

forgive me mother for i have sinned in truth
forgive me father for i have lived on after you
forgive me daughter for i have not always been a man
forgive me son for all of the things i pass on to you

sore knees
in the blank stare
of angels
weeping

busy signals
from the land
of empty missives
toll endless

the daggers of tears
coated in poison
left lying about
intentionally
