Lay me out
upon the altar
like skin stretching over the ribs
of Reason.
Kiss the joy from my lips
even as I choke on the lie
in the back of my throat,
swallowing salt.
Tear me apart,
limb from limb,
over and over
and over and over.
Devour me,
satisfy that ache in our bellies
and give me the silence behind my eyes for
just one
fucking
second.
