The story of a girl-
awake, escape the words, the wounds,
the pain that looms outside the door
on selfish hands:
unworthy gift on soiled fingers,
a mouth malignant, festering
to bruise,
bleed and breed
drunk on bone and flesh
of mother's womb,
mother's hand
bleating through parted lip of love lost,
fist clenched in envy,
regurgitating poetry, a backwards flow
seeking attention
with swollen tongue
i watch through vacant eyes, motionless
the ache it grows like seed
you can't fight it, spirit willing
flesh stagger,
stench on putrid corpse
you drag, you cling
circumcise a heart swollen with decay, rotting
a cutting throat of jealousy
bleeding crocodile tear
i turn away
awake, escape the words, the wounds,
the pain that looms outside the door
on selfish hands:
unworthy gift on soiled fingers,
a mouth malignant, festering
to bruise,
bleed and breed
drunk on bone and flesh
of mother's womb,
mother's hand
bleating through parted lip of love lost,
fist clenched in envy,
regurgitating poetry, a backwards flow
seeking attention
with swollen tongue
i watch through vacant eyes, motionless
the ache it grows like seed
you can't fight it, spirit willing
flesh stagger,
stench on putrid corpse
you drag, you cling
circumcise a heart swollen with decay, rotting
a cutting throat of jealousy
bleeding crocodile tear
i turn away
