PINPOINT PRECISION #poetry by jay

The dark cloud looms like a harrowing expletive
leaping from your mouth in violent rhetoric—

besieged in the prison of your cold silence 
I pretend to ignore this brutality of practice—

brutality in practice/ held like a captive—

one day captured/ held in a dark cell
stone-walled/ depression/ cold walls of hell 

banishment/ containment/ clinging to my flesh
leeching emotion/ cradled affection/ longing
for long moments

quartered/ drawn/ executed—one by one 
with pinpoint precision.
