an incessant beat
thumping
a boy and his drum
the numbers add up
burning a hole to the bone
buried under
lifes clutter
knowingly not felt
the redness gone
my only tattoo reveals itself
during a pause to think
hating this place

avoiding
the ghost of gilbert
what to make of it all
nothing
until st johns calls
