Click herethere is meat
on these bones still
though skin, corroded away
bled through to a vacuum within
that no muscle can fill
and I fill
lungs through filters of soot
arctic blizzard that spreads
permafrost and aliment alike
through my will
and I shoot
clotted bullets radiating
from clamped lips torn apart
and a bludgeon cancerous heart
watch them arch from my scope
disappear
but still
since I bleed
I am here
I was here. (and feelin less than talkative today :D)

Forgiving the stressed esses, this one line is three beats too long: "that no muscle can fill". And, having created verses containing "mirrored beat lines", why abandon that format at the end?
The images were strong, and "carabineer" made me go to the dictionary. Thanks for the gift of that word!
