"ragged"

1...

beaten and tossed like

this body is a ves­sel

at sea and the sea gods

don’t like me much,

ragged like so much sea­weed,

rusted like so many ancient hulls.

2...

ragged on my soul,

never enough good

to see the other side

or what this side really means,

I’m flawed, yes,

and I know, I can feel it

in my guilt

and in my bones, but you

seem to see the neces­sity

in remind­ing me

of my worth:

less.
