Every question ends in semi-colon;
or comma,
or pair of ellipses... ...
They wrap themselves around my arms
tattooed into restless fickle freckled skin
shoulders to wrists
two sleeves of impaled and imperfect punctuation
period.
I fear the question mark
fly from it
leave the hyphenates to fend for themselves
flattened horizontal pebbles left a stone's throw away
abbreviated dashes---
they don't ask why
?

I love the line that ends with the word period, on its own line. As we've talked about, the look of the poem!
