i still get afterimages of a prehistoric skull silhouette
when i suffer morbid ideation of regret.
now turning with my back to moonlight
there's an outline of a thing who stands upright.
everywhere rings thickly pierced me i'd hung coins
of sea shell or enemy tooth set. From parental loin
to the next lad, race, career return nativity scars
from what they call a different year, another war.
