take a knife:
clean, sharp
put it in your arm
press hard
through skin, muscle;
sever nerves, arteries
let your blood seep unhinderedslice upward
between the bones
under your armpit;
leave a gaping crevice
allow light to pass where
never before
retract and do the same
to your other arm
then cut your legs;
open thick muscles wide
and watch them twitch
from all the excitement
in numbness now
spoon your eyes;
gauge out orbits
loose the clutter
clean away all that mush
leave your brain on
the white kitchen tile. |
