My Dirt Nips My Heels

The Dirt nips my
heels.

I thought it a joke
how do you remember it?
we pretend to have forgotten,
I only remember
slivers.

The embarrassment curls me up
ready
steady
vagina delivery...

The dirt nips my uncalloused heels
fetus shotgun
kablamoo
learning how to feel.

Forensic science
is shot outta a cannon
a hundred years today

taking lives everyday
it took one today

I guess the dirt nipping at my heels
that I'm so afraid of
is not as embarrassing
as swearing to your god
that you only speak the truth.

Truth is defined
in youth.
Revised with length
of tooth.

Wait till you die
I hope there's a hole
in the loop.
