raze this tendon tastes like talking.
wet words that won't be tamed
cut into the noise that fills
the gap between what's torn
and what's too rigid
to be pulled apart.

two half-circles
welded to a length of pipe
wend their way
into an unbroken arc,
healing to ready themselves
for fresh harm.

and if you believe
every circle is a wheel,
we're all rolling downhill,
getting halfway home
before breaking down
the best way we know how.
