hurly burly

Stretched rib cage
Curdled fat
Beneath the wrinkles
Of decades
With searing optical zoom
¤
Gut ripped
From cunt
To vocal cords
Split open
To see what's inside
¤
My heart beats
Words and love
Through tired veins
Useless organs
Squirming in thought
¤
Holding on to you
Each piece of me
Saturated
A sponge of simile
Died red
¤
The purr
Of knowing
So lost
In the death of night
I can barely hear you breathe
¤
Man
On the moon
As the moon
I'm opened
You watch from the sky
¤
The alone
Of this muted hurly burly
Un bear able
As scalpel's edge
Through thin skin
