scribble scribble scratch
the drivel that is the nibble
upon the watch of blackberry
bramble and thorn worn out
for that comfortable feel
of welts dealt maliciously
judiciously in winter well
to all the better spring
another thistle as epistle
upon the wrist that is a lip
that numbly gnawing stutters
as fingertip kissing death
who is acid green and lacks
sugar salt and discontent
