when did it happen
how did it happen
he does not know
the flesh
began to fall apart
bleeding sore
he was drunk
dead drunk
he slept
with a leper whore
life slipped
out of his hands
peace no more
children
throw stones at him
as he begs
from door to door
pain painlessly
growing at the core
god alone knows
what more is in store
doomed destiny
man marooned
on mankinds shore

This is for Glenn Barton and Felice
and the wonder mum
