A Wresting Of Flesh
It feels like pigskin;
a Shanghai
hijack
of this tanned
torn hide
so tattered
Tapestries iron themselves
into me
invading
fell & foul
Howling from
an anti-flaying
inhaling slough
down...down...
Dragging decay
so curdled -
to shriveling lungs (shrieking)
raking past my tongue
It scalps away
the sane
the humane...
Awaking to eerie
inverse dawns
like T. Leary theories;
Though, infected...
fresh fungal flesh feastings
feed me
another cordyceps day
The Eternal Darkness Of The Squalid Mind

I can't believe in saying in glad about that, but I am in the sense that it was effective :)

it scalps away the sane, the humane
... so I winced as I feel my own skin tearing away from the flesh

beautiful imagery. whether a poem is dark, light or somewhere in between i think it is essential to carry that image in the most visceral manner. your word choice hit me squarely. the poem is open enough that it doesn't have to be set aside in some narrow category, yet "dark" is appropriate.

Slaughter house sleep time
grab me a blanket won't you
staple the skin up to make a tee pee
secrets unfolding
steaming
flay knives
they put me in the coffin but i was still alive
did they not hear the screams?
at least put me down
the sun does not set in the deep underground
i'll stay the same
filthy mind
the title along "a wresting of flesh" i imagine someone holding a fist full of pulled flesh that's not there own.
i really want to watch the remake of the Texas chainsaw massacre .
you have filled my horror quota for the day.
only question left is how do you like your steak?
MEDIUM RARE!

How do you even do that!? It would take me some time to spinoff a poem so quickly! 😆
"the sun does not set in the deep underground " So true...so very true!
Keep bugging me ROFL!

great poets inspire. i hope you publish one day.i'll totally take a signed copy.
there's actually a few poets on here i'd really like to see publish a full collection of work.
holding words like tea cups
smashing on the floor
spill
like parlor tricks
in the trap door
