bicep
raze
"
birds
fly
and
fill
the
summer
skies,"
a
sullen
man
sings
.
"
and
i
surrender
."
the
trumpet
solo
is
a
distant
wail
when
it
should
be
loud
enough
to
wake
the
wavering
world
.
you
hear
none
of
this
.
the
ink
burned
into
your
bicep
is
a
tribute
to
your
father
:
a
sword stabbing
a
still
-beating
heart
.
the
only
blood
on
the
blade
i
carry
is
my
own
.
