Suborned

to suborn: to induce secretly to do an unlawful thing

I feel teeth have been secretted into my heart,

a jumble of sharpness and

my natural motions cut me to pieces.

My heart has grown jaws to accommodate them.

 

A jumble of sharpness, and

to give them order, hold them in line,

my heart has grown jaws to accommodate them,

give them some useful occupation.

 

To give them order, hold them in line,

and when coals were secretted into my heart,

give them some useful occupation.

It learned to spit fire.

 

And when coals were secretted into my heart,

this seemed reasonable as well.

It learned to spit fire,

though I have since spent my days diverting my heart,

 

this seemed reasonable as well.

Away from loved ones, and so it gnaws,

though I have since spent my days diverting my heart

toward burnt pieces of me instead.

 

This seemed reasonable as well.

I feel teeth have been secretted into my heart.

Though I have since spent my days diverting my heart,

my natural motions cut me to pieces.
