Counting Broken Teeth

Ted Jackins

There are pirate ships
along the crystal seas
flying tattered sails
of bloodstained sheets
alongside fluttering flags
of torn ideas with
their wisdom bent in
half by plastic behavior
patterns,
and all these words,
so loud in their deadening
silence,
that they weave a tapestry
of bruises along a fleshy
spirit cocoon.
You bit too deeply
upon the tongues
of the vampires
before swallowing
the very idea
of running.
