Ouch! Fucking
ouch!
Slits swelling shut
lids stealing
plumpness from pillows
of enamel.
Dragged, drugged
under the duvet
fused, fraying
knots, femurs spitting
bloody bruises along
sandpaper skin,
blackened pores, pouring bloody
prisoners back to the
surface.
Gut gripping,
graceful fingers
drumming,
starvation, seeking
gluten, gifted bile,
saliva swimming pool
shrinking appetite, shrivelling seeded apathy, absence.
Toes twisted,
mercilessly mashed sausages,
shoes, soles
missing metaphorical
sanctuary,
itching heels, keeled over,
scrunched such as a
trampled takeaway sack, keening for
wet dirt, wet eyes,
soaking in a shower of
sympathy, a symphony of
screams soothed to silence,
chorus of chains crying out
from abolition, from feared absoluteness.
Will we repeat today, tomorrow?
We will repeat today, tomorrow.
we will repeat today, tomorrow…
… will we repeat today, tomorrow?
