Damn. Missed a day of posting. Basically, because this one took me awhile to get right. But also because I went to see a movie today. I like going to movies but I wish I had a friend to go with.
Giving
The flesh dissolving to a fine paste.
Bones
splintering, cutting away
at tendons,
the muscles ground
down to mists
of foggy red. There
was blood
once, rivers of it, rapids
rushing to
the open seas of an open
heart,
engorging the brain with lakes
and oceans
full of malignant thought.
Rushing,
forever rushing, filling
the empty knot
between my legs.
Will I
remember the feeling of fingers
impatiently taping
the back of my neck
once my
desire to feel has withered away?
Will I
remember you? Your kisses wet,
somewhat
smoke-stained bitter and yet
somehow
uncommonly sweet. Your spiky
tongue
drilling its way between my teeth,
impaling itself
to the roof of my mouth.
Sometimes the
only love we felt was the pain
we offered
each other.
Soon the
memory of time will be dead.
Days will
waste away into hours, hours
will fade to
moments, to seconds. If I
had the
courage, I would shut my eyes so
hard the sun would
refuse to ever shine again.
