The carbuncle withers inside the glove. Father wore it like a ring when he was alive.

It carved disasters on his hands. Made me notice the shape of his wrist. And count the fists to his retirement.

The red sore keeps crowning his toil.
The weather breaks on his bent limb.

High on a Hill
What is left of a Soul
Gnarls in Cold
 
Words are Acute
Infections Beneath
The Skin
 
Bruises
All the Way Down
To Hell
 
And There
The Lost Embryo
Rots Again
 
What Might Have Been
What Did Not
What Is
