There will always be wound:
I have dreamt               of blade
through [my / your] skin.

This is where I’ve found myself: King Jr
with application for concealed
weapon permit.
Ready to press pistol     into temple[s].

This is where I’ve found myself: with the gun,

in front            of a line of tanks.
Run me over                and hear
my skull               pop louder
than congregation’s    praise.

I am like a trapped     animal:
not afraid         to gnaw through
my own leg. And when
they must: [my / your] teeth
sharpen against [my / your] bones.
