Sharpened sticks and bones

wrapped up words...

shredded, layered, glued

molded in the form
that frames suspects
in the library

molded in the form
that slices, dices, chops!

molded as an instrument
of murder, this one
with greater pain to inflict

slowly sinks
with its layered letters

sinks into victim,
often them and
the assailant unaware

unaware that the letters
posed in such a way
produces poisonous prose

the nose of the form
driven directly to the bone

the tortuous texture
tears through tissue,
tendons and truth

mangles supple self,
slashes silken soul,
corrupts curious core

layered letters lodged
between sternum and rib of four
