Words Are Like Bullets


Words are like bullets.
They cannot be called back
once they have left the gun.

Centipede

Like the old Slinky
That would tumble down the stairs,
Words sear lava paths
In the blood line of children
Brutalized by their parents.

Seeds only sprout once;
once dug from the earth and left
out to dry, they die.
A wound heals but leaves a scar.
Flesh, like earth, persists.
