you feel it

don’t you?

it lives there

lodged

in your bones

bonded 

to cells

calcium

marrow 

and mineral

now

until end

of days

grey dread

in your

meat

hot angst 

burns

branding you

with

searing scars

j'accuse!

lead weight 

knowledge

shouldered

a justice

will inevitably 

be dealt

and hard

…but…

for now enjoy your

daily ablutions 

coupled with

ignorance

and

trepidation

habitual checks

served with

tea, toast and fresh

creeping fear
