Sunday
April 15, 2012
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.
