all the broken places

i am quite sure
i have no words
to name your pain

tiny body taken
by force

darkness deeper than
oceans
the brutal need
to crush

multiply it out
times a hundred?
times a thousand?
times a million?

how many millions?

words fail

on this cold day between
as his body lies
so very
very
dead

i can only hold to this

that he was
battered
torn
tortured
murdered

to heal

all
the
broken
places
