spiral

eyelashes thorns

hairs splintering grass

elusive mechanisms

dismantling integrity

inheritance becomes fevered

pink gums withdrawing

taproots

apparent

cavities, home

tight knit corner

dissipating hope

excoriated cuticles

dipped in vinegar

as a windowshade

i’ve been drawn back

an open-nerved nose

i bleed profusely

out of every pore

do i allow for seeping

i expel and inhale 

all the intricacies around me

those profound and mundane

fill me with such-

it is not the now i know

i must wait, recollect, retire

frustrate me

interior irritating dialogue

dictated behavior

lactating dry heaves

i lay in hay and dirt

and let mites into my skin

make me a fever

a poltergeist

make me better

corruptSpiral.
