I can feel my skin begin,
To disintegrate.
I can feel my brain begin,
To turn to mush.
I can feel my bloodstream begin,
To turn thick.
And God can I feel,
My body begin to decay.
No,
I would not like procaine to heal the pain.
No...no,
I want to feel death at my door.
I want to feel every ounce of feeling in this body.
I want to feel it.
Breathe it.
Consume it.
I would like to inhale,
The Molotov cocktail.
Inhale it so I can feel my insides,
Turn pure black like my mind.
I can feel my body,
Slowly decay.
I've got a sweet tooth,
That only death can yank.
I have veins,
That only demons can swim deep within.
I have a womb which is a gutted Nativity scene,
Where no infant rests in this manger.
And my tongue,
Spits out disjointed phrases littered like maladroit meteorites.
Again,
I feel my body slowly decay.
I feel my brain,
Turn into an amnesiac,
Forgetting how to remember.
Forgetting to die.
Again.
Day after wretched day,
My body is slowly decaying.
But I am rotting,
here,
without the flies.
This body is no longer mine,
It is a living memorial to his fingertips,
A cemetery piercing through theses ridged ribs.
