"Branded And Brandish" drabbles by sully
BRAND (revised)
Branded And Brandish
A zit on your cheek
A bite mark beside your throat
A new dye in your hair
A scar you cover
A tattoo you expose
A hand over your face
A hand over your chest
A pain in your hands
A name printed upon your skin
A blade you wield openly
A rough morning headache
A burn never healed
A hot metal to your stomach
A knot of guts
A wound that stays open
A tear squirming down
A new sound from out your lips
A finger tapping your head
A scab you keep picking
A list without an end.
Brand III
Branded And Brandish
A business ran into the ground
A heart etched on a tree
A game you mastered
A seal on a faulty pipe
A shirt you wear daily
A trick you never forgot
A diary entry ripped out
A silence with volume
A tear squirming down
A look from a friend
A new sound out your lips
A finger tapping your head
A phone call cut short
A pencil you blunted
A scab you keep picking
A feeling so wrong, so right
A list you add to
A puzzle you cannot solve
A pressure without depth
A stone rolling over you
Brand II
Branded And Brandish
A lie your body told you
A name you are called
A saying you use
A howl in the night
A revolver in your pocket
A hat you wear
A sword or an axe
A knot of your guts
A memory stained on your soul
A song rotating in your mind
A pet you miss
A life you never lived
A wound that stays open
A vinyl framed on your wall
A violent wave at another
A reputation you cannot shake
A gift you cannot pass with
A needed somebody
A hedge like um, ah, well...
A painting gathering dust
Brand I
Branded And Brandish
A zit on your cheek
A bite mark beside your throat
A new dye in your hair
A scar you cover
A tattoo you expose
A story you cried at
A burn you received
A birdhouse in your soul
A laugh that pains you
A word with another meaning
A hand over your face
A hand over your chest
A pain in your chest
A darkness in your cupboard
A bulb above your head
A name upon your skin
A positive or negative
A blade you wield openly
A hot metal to your stomach
A rough headache in the morning
