Calm once more, pulse steady...
The rush ebbs tide like but
nerves remember, cherish,
embrace adreniline as it
seeps from cell awakened.
Needles, like railroad ties,
glimmer in the reflections
of my sleeping mind the life
drips from their ends, plink.
Olde tyme sutures still attached
to the guts they spilled from
close the skin over the maggots
that call the wound home.
Snug barbed wire peels her apart
a mechanical fetus forced into life
from between cherry coated lips,
just the rasps of screams left.
Eyes flutter and the grin breaks open
lips match those from memory, the
rolling orbs go still, no balm offered
no quarter given....plick....plick.
Fillet knife kept busy one slice
at a time one deep, one shallow
both shall leave marks, marks that
never heal as corpses never scar.
Teddybear made of skin from the
backs of those who came before
snuggled in the crook of an arm
gone limp in serial slumber.

I'll make no excuses for this. Take it for the dark piece that it is.
