UNDER MY FEET

i walk barefoot
over broken
lives
whenever possible
in back-alley
warrens
of sewage
and hope
hoping
that my scars
will open up again
stigmata
that say
save me
and that let
the rotten core of the world
mix
with my precious bodily fluids
in a vain effort
to tear down
the integumentary barriers
that condemn us all
to be
alone.
