Cervical
I watch him fuck other women.
He loves the fact that I watch.
He smiles and I
keep my secret:
every flex of his muscle,
every thrust into her cunt,
is a shiny new nail in my spine,
bracing me upright
until I know I’ll never
bend again

It hammers home,
and home,
again:
uh
nuh
never
ever
give
myself
away.
Whenever I feel
my skin has become
too permeable,
my soul too tender,
there is always
the opportunity
to tempt him to
teach me again.
Lumbar
I sit,
watch
and remember:
I’m born alone
I’ll die alone.
Anything else
is dangerous
delusion.
Whoa, OUCH!
That one’s got some serious teeth.
Damn I do love your writing.
Anatomy has been giving me a scaffold for my thoughts, too, Rgrl. This is powerful, sharp, vivid, and hurts. Thanks.
Very vivid!!
perfect.
This…this is seriously, seriously fantastic.
…even if the poor, neglected sacrals did get left out. 🙁
No no, I actually LOVE it as a triptych, and I think it’s brilliant.
This just MAKES it for me: ”uh nuh never ever” – bloody marvellous.
I love the way you write my dear.
