Introspective

A piano plays with
Many broken keys.
It is another way to
…block “the please”.

Flinching beatings
…are so numbing.
– No one can hear
…over loud Sneers.

I told a help-caller:
“No one is coming”.
Its inevitable pain,
I am still humming.

A high gets taller.
Its beautiful eyes
Are… tattooed on,
Uneven and smaller.
