The aqueduct has no drainage, hearing
numbed to the belly of the beast
Feeds in the pit of my stomach pirating
whatever nourishment is
Inserted through my mouth, stretch the
tongue down my gullet
Here it comes, the explosion of erosion,
melt the acids to breakdown
The commotion into lost nourishment for
sensitive details
Muscles cannot grow when the monster
gnaws on every bone
Sink down an answer and the creature
metastasizes the marrow to cancer
No transfusions, no delusions of letting
go the awful constitution
Bill of demands, Faustian bargain in a
foreign land
Pay the piper dwelling within, only way
out is to kill me to kill him
Chemotherapy paid for with a
life-savings
Devour the bills with the rainbow pills;
Charge-master says it is thirty-thousand
in sliver to jump off the window sill
Unplug the doctrine, re-inform the
chaplain, this is it, there is no more
No coming back, no going forward
Falling in the heat of wet bed sheets,
Sweat wrecks in the pounding on an empty
chest
Enzymes craving the outsides, flesh gone
corrupt to break the nut
Take me far, far away; throw this heart
in the chest of another
Donate the love and destroy the brain,
spoils of civil war
Forgotten names, the self is not a self
with a brutality cold
Too distant to remember to argue, bodies
die and lives continue
Talk in circles and slide to mute; the
warrior caged inside seppuku
See the slit and smell the blood, the
room can hear the sounds
Of a cancer’s bell rung, knock out
round, the sum of nothingness
Particles rearranged; universal time,
this was not the first game
No matter the sentiment the history is
greater than any singularity
