Making Certain
Making Certain
Hands all scraped
with rake and raw of old
new flesh, you always
push to push when
pull has passed
and work like any
blue neck pays
you back in bone.
When food all
fresh with spoil
spills of blood
because blood
dips you back in
fat. Has some thing
down with oil.
Knuckles wrack skin
with age of
work with work.
Something inside flesh.
It makes us put
our lives together.
Flat hard hands
of soiled hearts
ungive up because
a top line has no bottom.
Makes us women
before our men appear.
Make certain, yes, quite
certain, bone spites nothing
in trust of something.
