the human mind grew a merciless being
no, i can not release it from this vessel.
i dont remember movement
bones, inexistent, if existent, empty
a mass of skin
“the human body”, mine, isn't enough for her rage. the not-good-enough body, i paralyze
but find a way.
i find that mind has nobounds, mind can release it.
and so i sit.
i sit, arch collapsed, feet flat becoming heavy, sinking down and through
my unscathed palms rest facing upward,
an innate acknowledgment
of God.
my neck hangs under the brutal weight of the head that holds her.
the head that holds splintering wood breaks and fires that consume lives entirety
in the heaviness, her screaming that
makes
breath
have weight.
makes tense breath ring.
doomed, glass fusing into her gums
fingernails dig deep to puncture, slowly tearing skin away
body once recognizable becomes something horrible
inner tumors release and cry
she cries the cry of thousands
devastated, my walls bleed
home mauled, carved through, kissed by her bite,
mangled, inhuman grasp
her inhuman eyes, bulbs glossed over
cheeks round and filled with flesh
once swallowed,
demolition concludes.
undeniably. she is inhuman.
…
but her hands:
human
she sits and drinks from her human hands.
she drinks holy water
look through her eyes.
be consumed.
do i recognize them?
it is this. contact.
feel it, really, physically, i can
my heart is beating
my muscles are sore
look down.
my fingers, clenched
red
her fingers,
clenched,
red
