Devoured by singularity

Left sharp-set for tender touch

Tracing toxic rings on purpose

Yearning for what never was

​

Every face beholds a stranger

Behind the sweet shared emptiness

Then return to their clandestine corners

Whose doors wear mirrors to protect

A sickly set of rasping rattles

Held tenuous by fleeting breaths

​

so use me up

run me through

show me what I am to you

steal away my agency

for your pleasure

make me new

​

Forsake the individual

Let unwashed nails claw at thy heart

Embrace this, an unbounded being

Atrophy to save these sparks

​

Dance on many vibrant needles

Decorate them with your blood

Loosen holds to tethers flaxen

Rend flesh from bone and call it love

Sworn to walk on aching ankles

To leave these stagnant pools untouched

​

use me up

run me through

show me what I am to you

steal away my agency

for your comfort

make me new

​

Desolate from frequent toil

In spite of many silk spun words

Watch as fractal shapes uncoil

And everything is as at first

​

Discordant loud and incomplete

Compelled by holes not understood

Thrashing about for unseen succor

Bereft of care to right or good

These words stand just as blackened windows

I'd speak them back if e'er I could

​

so use me up

run me through

show me what I am to you

steal away my agency

for your purpose

make me new

​

In guiltless eyes, searching for danger

I fear what never comes...
