Favored Scars

Some bleed and some feed.

None of this makes any sense, she said...

but it won't keep me from swaddling my narcissus

in paper blankies, shoveling ink into a blender

you, strapped in my electric chair as I wet the sponges

you, dripping spit and salivating while

your hair singes up to your ears-

your skin will make a nice book cover, a leather bound

collection of flesh, vein rope Medusa hair waving

on my grinning specter, shaking the blood out

into a circuitous spray, gush bright compliment

to my furious wit, lascivious, villainous, masterful

conjurer of bottomless hungry need, popping human

appetizers, full course tribes to follow

my carnal appetite, which knows no boundary

histrionic hyperbole delight in fanciful technicolor mourning

pulling strings as the marionettes dance to my misery, double tapped

predictable echo of greatest hits, daddy at midnight at the bottom of

a bottle, drumming up fresh heartache, humping a dry leg to get you

wet wet wet while you wallow in my kiddy pool

you don't know me til you walk in my stilettos

you know you want me to

come apart for you, break all

over you, bleed fine silk regrets til we are

wailing

black eye lined

sisters

incestuous brother me, second mother me

I need a whole family to satisfy this hunger in me

to populate this cavernous array of razor sharp memory

fall on my blade and wait, let the copper drip and taste

how sweet it is to be dead like me,

dead. like. me.

dead

like

me

'Popping human appetizers', that woke me right up...the only good thing to come out of razor sharp memories is a razor sharp poem such as this, has an eerie echo to it, killer ending, no pun intended.

'histrionic hyperbole delight in fanciful technicolor mourning'

Just one thought/line of many that totally blew me away...excellent read Kristina.
