Laceration

Shredding layer after layer Until laid threadbare, You keep up your game Until the wild turns tame. Unraveling piece after piece Until utter unease, You flaunt your art Until the knots fall apart. In a lapse of eons… Until the wit dims For spirit to kindle. Pray build me in your mint And lend me strength For blows And aches. Rips and Jabs. Drained of will, This Being's now an empty vessel; Shape, Carve, Fill. Here and now… I bow. I surrender, I implore. Ferry me across, carry ashore To Quiescence.
