Poem: The Animal

Here I lie, where the sun rises up out of my stomach
Upon the rays of hurt the animal descends on my body
Cold and frightened. Feeling me, embracing me,
Embracing the vibrations, the heat, the moisture and the pulse of my life
and every inch of my weak body and I feel the
Equilibrium flowing through me like rain drizzling on a river. The sounds of the rain, so silent
But the river is loud. The animal breathes me.

Here I lie, where the sunsets down into my mouth
Dissolving in to my mouth absorbing light for the animal
To eat. Sucking me dry, sucking the life, the rays of sweet hurt
From my body. Eating the skin of my bone. Burning
The cells in my brain. The pain in my mind. My teeth are blown away like dust.
My nerves pulled out of my ears like string. The animal infecting my chemical spirit like heroine. A parasite a virus, the VIRUS OF LIFE

There I lie with my mouth open, pus is flowing out from my eyes.
The rain is overflowing,
drowning all that inhabits all, that is all.
Yet the river is not silenced.... Brings silence to all.

Here I lie where the sun rises up out of the animals beak.
Left to rot on cold concrete, alone.
It's eyeballs are in the wind, the fungus dances with the blood
drizzling out it's ears, oozing between my toes.
It breathes the countdown to existence.
