BLUE TATTOO Poem by Kathryn Daszkiewicz

BLUE TATTOO



Taut as a drum, you beat
a slow tattoo against my skin.
At each stroke, the guttural utterance

that renders speech redundant;
at each stroke, blue worlds
mute as bruises. Boundaries

blur, as you ink out an indelible territory
where language is pure rhythm
and retreat is no longer an option.
