winged stream
TW: Some slightly gory imagery which I have censored; nothing very serious though!
no, you don't understand what I'm telling you
when I say a whole body pieced together
will only function when ||gutted||
overdo it on the lemon but without
opening up
the vegetable crisper, of course
there's enough fruit already drying up & halved
on your porcelain plate
(leave the seeds on the side
for when you want something repurposed)
||bones now snap at the bit pushing death
right into their glucose||
really transforms hell into the deep sea
& makes you wonder ||just how much of this flesh has attachment issues||
no, I'm making you understand
how all pieces come together in small places no matter
how corrupted or fixed in size or full of fluid innuendo they might be
no, I don't mean the earth bleeding out its waterbed
no such thing as water in this shrunken civilization
metal though
that's something real to dig your dormant teeth into
now change your strides to fit my torment
our first date was just standing
in the gallery of my own brain
imagining the private life of the woman whose face
flowered before me ten years ago
& how some faraway satellite would droop like a pendulum overhead
if one more metal tin cracked open with no purpose
pine wharf
mighty granite
magic ether
mossy phoenix
craggy helm
