Foreign Languish
1 min readMar 19, 2019
The tongue has turned to
Ribbons, a mouth gravely
Visible. Fresh taste of
Blood rising with each
Congealed word, transfusing
Your final offal to
Inhale, your malignant
Venom penetrating
The rotting gash.
Pre-donate the organs.
Clamp down my
Vision with your
Glare, recycle all the
Evidence; burn every
Placenta, every hair.
Flush away the damage.
Still the rocking chair.
