jabberwocky

old wounds that never heal.
outer skin covering
claws below the surface
tear it open
gnawing at the oozing core
cry in pain
cat, fish and angry owl come licking
The irrisistable smell of fresh blood
Cry , yell, scream... soundless, mindless yawns
but no sleep in sight.

Cover the wound ,
clean, cover, robed, cloaked, hidden.
the pain killed the first time; will the second coming elevate?
