Thou foster-child of Silence and slow Time

The Prodigal

Shot
My back itches to kiss the wall
But my feet stay rooted
Out of my hands the raw rice drifts down
Like leaves on a dead tree
Like blood
Shout
A stranger waves
A demon strapped to his back
He laughs and embraces me
Little sister how you’ve grown
I hold still
Sweat and gunpowder surround me
