Tattooed



His arms were black and blue with ink. His skin covered with 
words, numbers and pictures
it took some time to sink in - what it all meant. 
Birds, fruit and mixtures of colour. 
Nothing made sense to one so young.  Did he lose 
his tongue and had to find another way to
tell his story? I wonder 
how much he spent on each hieroglyphic. Still, 
everyone needs some glory.
