Prolific Any ThingsA Poem by Michael Howell
Prolific Any Things
My veins now come undone in the heart of August and I’m bleeding all my prolific nothings on the carpet trying to entwine designs of my own existence in the soft threads. it’s an extascy in my throat, and the moans and grunts and flirtatious any things that ooze from my mouth are finally bullet proof and the drawings from my blood bear a strong resemblance to whatever comes to your mind when I say the word loneliness. You love me here, don’t you? even if you can’t admit it, you do my blood will taste so good when mixed with salt and mutual insanity in- sanity is what drove me here, and insanity is what makes you smile and snap your schizophrenic fingers If there was ever such a thing as a good burn this surely must be it, because no matter how much blood is spilled I know there is much more to come. and it tickles me for a chance to get out and in your stomach. it’s a daily addiction a daily battle and a daily catharsis. I know my life would be unending without this unending stream of blood so I make mince meat of this carpet and make myself look so goddamn foolish while I sing along to the sound of my veins emptying because most people live with their blood, trapped in a never ending cycle of loneliness, but I lose my blood, my everything, in the hopes that I can loose my forgotten no things as well and as god permits I can be filled with more subtle demons and less desperate blood. © 2011 Michael Howell |
