Russell's sign

Boys name on my

knuckles

left hand, right hand

I bear the mark

of the used

they call it Rusell's sign

it shows

the pattern

of taking in and

purging out

these cryptic half-moons

adding to the

language of me

full of alliteration

and soggy metaphor

too often chocked by silence.
