Tummy Side Up, Tummy Tucked

In dreams, I wallow, bend, and catch a shadow  
the living calligraphy of my longhand's grotesque  
with sweet memories of your kiss sealed in delirium    
hearing winter's wind whistle waltzing on my bones  
and skulls of doves invoking the silent feeling, that,  
I am not alone, touched by the centipede, crawling  
about the anatomy of my decaying flesh depositing  
embryos on my soon-to-be-forgotten calligraphy  
pulling the foreskin over my grave dripping gore  
tummy side up, tummy tucked appetite, circumfixed  
by a rusted saw-bladed scalpel
