Salvage

Free will became a list of chores
hurling sentiments against the lath and plaster walls to see what sticks
Or falls and heaps 
ceramic tile skittering shards
already cut me abdomen deep
gritted teeth
hissing curses

wading through what could have been a home
dragging detritus, whirling wake
eddies of possibilities, maybe
For someone else, probably
everything is useful maybe
just not right now 

Put pressure on the wound
resist remineralizarion
brushing soft against my cheek 
Liberated simple nutrients
someday, soon
just not right now
