Silent syllables
Buried deep
Rot under impervious
Ace bandages
Hope ferreted
Gently unwound those rags
Bleeding words
Splattered everywhere
Like red flags
Blood dried to ink
Wounds breathed
Life to share
Of Him whose
Hands and feet still bear
Scars that set her free

Beautiful poem. I so love this bit:

Splattered everywhere
Like red flags”
