Old Pain

My soul learned early
to wander soundlessly through
picking carrion

This familiar pull
moves no longer sharp slashing
its secrets deadened

Scarification
can be also beautiful
gentle reminders

Solemn circle now
not having been garrulous
calliope spins

Now my old pain dreams
lonely and abandoned, aged
infirmities split
