First Words Spoken

Naked. In the classroom.
Bleeding. On the playground.

Burning. Speak to mocking glee.
Hating. Trumpet enemy to ash.

Bitter. Taste of citric thunder.
Frightened. A thrashed hound.

Laughing. Bless and crown the fool.
Whispers. Ragged spat out words.

Crying. Finger the digital tongue.
Loveless. Forged coins for tup'enny desire.

Wishing. Of a quiet Life.
Scarred. Like a dead embarrassment...

@Steven Francis poems 1997
