Memorandum

Bang.
At the speed of absolute zero
bullet stagnates
forever.

Sandwhittled tears as sure as the sun -
a product of blue saints
rain upon my face.

Memory-tailored scars as cold as this gun -
the steel pigments
parade my skin;
sanguine snakes.

Bursting inside, the emotions I can't take -
the biting teeth that are imagination's bane.
As sure as the sad ship sunk
in the currents of time, I too,
have drown in pain.
