Ten of Cups (Reversed)

surely not this
by kelsey jo

marrows that shrivel after extraction
wielding spine into collapse

this dance we play:
  toes crack and set
  with a kiss of truth.

a life of

  feeble hearts        /silenced
  brawny lungs        /lauded
  fertile eggs         /mothered
  scrambled yolks      /stolen
  budding yellow        /watered
  wilting green         /torched

to ask myself,
what is just?
