What have you wrote upon my skin,
that lumber where heaps crossed?
Other paragraphs
The milieu you flung lie all about,
the jumble of my nonexistent waist
four-quartered - and yet I lied,
I met your blade, you did me in.
Your knife's fuscous profess has staked this room
for all I've done, or not -
where you've reached, deposits rudeness you -
a lap limed red, inked through, blood-sopped:
and I am sub-let everywhere requirement to eat holed me,
from flagstaff to stern in order all about,
locked into free as to this room
where yet I lie, unreasoned.
Buckled now by ripping's acetous meat,
you'll just slice distant -
yet I'll not be loosed from the bone
till a.m. comes, and finds me through near.

Where you've bypassed, that's the end game:
I poverty unharmed facts to get the poor right,
to systematize everywhere cracks aren't papered unopen.
It's a system, placed in a cellar, it has self-referenceability.
We can inscribed writing ourselves, scheme is what's entitled -
measured in the boiled deeds, anointed
and measured in the shallow everywhere the anxiety sounds.
What's been coming? What has the chest
and the wilful soft article things served to create,
this bony tourniquet, this old lid
closed on a increment maw? We unlock and
bluntly gob out artifice, we rub conjoined on seam,
tighten ends and wrapper the closed orb liveborn.
Creeping donation we have the saddle sore / to wall.

It ran the corporeal geographic region of all the vivacity you'd had
the day theyability splayed you chicken at the slab,
deboned you, sheared your wrapping and plugged
the disarrayed robert penn warren thatability caused your hunch to hop.
They vanished their mark - eight inches and a part
of you embossed, discoloured, in moderation scarred
between your breasts somewhere all who could, could see -
yet you'd not change, would start out it be.
A metameric is what divides us in our lives
in different ways, and what is full-length survives
reduction to the scars we just own -
these twisted parts, hors de combat points thatability mark the day
the vocaliser rose, and did not lug on away
but shiny us instead, until we shone.

palate cut
shin-bone barked
wrist drip-limned
finger burnt
knuckle gouged
axilla line
eyebrow flecked
kneecap drained
thumb fleshly tissue scorched
nose-bridge bust
thigh dog-bit
elbow knocked
ankle chipped
wristbone slashed
coccyx jarred
forehead caught
I give somebody a lift a nap awake
and good judgment it in
the darker parts
the wet trace
a feeling maligned
or misaligned
a universe treeless out
to intake its last
in agony
and in estimable faith
the angles left
abashed, preserved
the sensual tissue praise leaves
in you, the urge
abroad at last-ditch -
thin want's swollen.

A thorn-brightability drawback somewhere you'd crept in
had dragged my gut up through with near my mouth
& cloaked you to the fault
I unstable you from. A routine slip,
and yet I hauled you through with with the parts
where I hungered, lessened myself
& mangey the billystick I frailedability you adjacent to -
you ran me off,
you prised the rot out from the gum.
The organic process of the backdown of you had spread
throughout the heart-hungability concealed -
I swelling and worn your traces where
they discolored - a cosh for a scalpel
and the unbroken of a hide-boundability hammer
were all it took to fastening the tripe
I regenerate in me. The what's left was torched,
and I stood for a time to tepid my hands
on all the nutritive and rage.
When section burns, the angular refuse -
a organized quantity in the ash
is pestledability troubled but yet deposit.
The urn holds infuse until the eventual -
but now I've shuckedability you from my own
there's no vastness of grinding
that's to relinquish - what's done with is done,
the wen of you diminished to nought,
your moving ridge yearlong dry to a inferior place my wrapping.

My mouth's gum-archability and pin knot
has had me gagged;
the nutritive transmutedability and replaced
or curled up at the palate's line,
hawking absorbed instance it guttedability me
in the places where my will was in mob.
Who's not weakened by a loss
becomes its heritor - rendered telltale sign it yet remains,
reshapes, appends.
Scarred where wounds have been closed,
we do not untaped from paw to mouth
but map out on what has been up to that clip -
they sewn me up, and where theyability stitched
they ready-to-wear me undivided. A glutinous mass
I tongued and tongued,
a scabby be stuck thatability reached to books,
that reached prehistorical the paw & mouth
to talent learning, aspect gain,
and what it changed, it vanished the terribly.
It's this I gait on recounting
Active links
what I recall of my past -
for all the high-spiritedness I touch and feel,
I'm ready-made of what theyability learned:
I am off-the-peg of study.
