DEATH, DEATH, DEATH, DEATH, DEATH |

TELL ME IN THE LANGUAGE OF EYEBROWS AND FINGERS |
|
ALL EMPTINESS, ALL SILENCE, AND HIS TEARS. STORYTELLING ANIMAL, WAILS IN AGONY, CRIES ECHOING CRIES, TO FRAILTY. A DREAM WITHOUT SIGHT, AND ONLY THE SOUND OF WATER. THE SIN IS BURNING TO EVIL BEAUTY. IN THE ABYSS, EVEN HERE I SEE. HERE, TOO. I CARESS YOU ABSENT-MINDEDLY, LOVING YOU AS YOU CAN NEVER LOVE ME. INVIDIOUS, WHISPERED THAT THE GODS HAD SLICED YOU, THERE ARE NO EXITS. THE FOCAL POINT WAS AN ARRANGEMENT OF EYES, SO CLOSE, STARING, EXAMINING. SWELLS TO FULL. THIS ONE SPACE IN ALL THE FOLIAGE, OPEN LEAVES THAT WATCH FOREVER. SEEN IN MOMENTS, STILL AND GRAY, OUR ENGINES CARRY ON. LOST IN A DREAM, WE STIR, WE WAKE TO FIND WE ARTE NOT VISIBLE. AND WE FALL DOWN, ALREADY CRUMBLED TO BITS, THE MURDERED REMAINS, GAGGING ON BLOOD. I SPREAD MY LEGS AND PUSH A SOFT HAND TO MY THROAT,WITNESS KNIFE AND FORK TEAR APART THE MEAT, APART AND SLICED UPON THE PLATE, DELICIOUS AND USELESS, PULLED APART UPON THE TABLE, HOLY MOUTHFUL OF ARTERY AND VEIN. BROKEN BONES ARE HEALED WITH JUST ONE TOUCH AND THE SINNER LIFTS HIMSELF TO HEAVEN. EMPTINESS AND NOTHING. THIS IS WHAT IS SACRED. THIS IS WHAT IS HOLY. SOMEONE, PLEASE, PLEASE, TAKE MY EYES. |
