If I had a pair of hating eyes
they would be buried
somewhere off the north Atlantic
with the others you've condemned.
But what of this impressionable heart?
What hole could contain
the bitterness I feel?

Like smacking a scar
hoping for some sensation
other than that dreaded numbness,
I have milked you for emotion
and the dust in my cup
did little to slow my effort
as the cloud in my head
blinded my eyes.

Still, my sightless hands wandered
up and down your body
inspecting the wounds
and looking for the latch
to open your shell.
But the cracks are all caulked,
and you've wrapped the whole mess
with bailing twine
in the hope of keeping yourself together.

I can feel you inside,
curled up fetal like
listening to the incessant tapping
of the family of man
thinking
"Home is where I hide my heart,
so let me find my peace"
