Autopsy

Autopsy

My words are my scalpel
My incision precise
My organs are splayed
My veins bleed ice

My mind is the blade
My eyes the knife
The light there fades
My treatise to entice

My screams are swallowed 
By the empty abyss 
My Heart is hollowed
My smile betrays bliss 

In utterance I wallow
My pain I kiss
My soul is sallow
My flesh bruised by fist

My whispers like gallows
My mind to dismiss

My soul exposed
Under the tissue unbound
The words are posed
To uncover or confound
