Grotesque Names
s--t--i--t--c--h--e--s
line my body
limbs sown TOGETHER
in a grotesque display of
LOVE
you name
r

d as a j g e
a g d
line upon pale skin
ANGRY RED LINES betray the pain
fresh
raw
red
real
just like you were
the last time I saw you?
REAL.
before you too
DENRUT
away.
O two N people E in
who are you?
Who are we?
who am I?
YOU SAID
you said
and she carves the name
of the one she
LOVES
and watches it
bleed
bleed
bleed
away
tonight.
forget my name
and open a vein.
