untitled
writhing S shaped curve
sewn and stitched together.
and from it fan it's progeny;
scar tissue tattoo feather.
i watched in fascination
as blood flowed one night last year
and washed away more pain
than ever could a tear.
now i cut myself again,
to see if it's still there;
the pain that always lingers,
and if i even care.
i wonder what my eyes would look like
dull and glazed with death.
when my soul departs in her embrace
will they be frozen open from her breath?
with the hot sting of metal
i thaw out and awake.
i stop the daydreams, stop the bleeding,
and see the marks i make.
