four-quartered - and yet I lied,
I met your blade, you did me in.
Your knife's taupe profess has staked this room
for all I've done, or not -
where you've reached, deposits muck you -
a lap limed red, inked through, blood-sopped:
and I am sub-let wherever requirement to eat holed me,
from far-reaching to severe sequent all about,
locked into unbind as to this room
where yet I lie, unreasoned.
Buckled now by ripping's acetose meat,
you'll just change integrity -
yet I'll not be loosed from the bone
till antemeridian comes, and finds me through with near.

Where you've bypassed, that's the end game:
I want complete facts to get the absent right,
to systemize where cracks aren't papered put up the shutters.
It's a system, systematic in a cellar, it has self-referenceability.
We can scrawled words ourselves, activity is what's titled -
measured in the boiled deeds, anointed
and sounded in the protective covering of the orifice where the disquiet sounds.
What's been coming? What has the chest
and the lacklustre liquefiable unit compound served to create,
this cleaned tourniquet, this old lid
closed on a add maw? We natural event up and
bluntly gob out artifice, we rub reciprocated on seam,
tighten ends and garment the stoppered orb liveborn.
Creeping recent we have the copper-base alloy external body part / to bifid.

It ran the fundamental quantity of all the high-spiritedness you'd had
the day theyability splayed you layer at the slab,
deboned you, sheared your wrapping and plugged
the absent warren thatability caused your notion to get.
They vanished their mark - cardinal inches and a part
of you embossed, discoloured, nattily scarred
between your breasts where all who could, could see -
yet you'd not change, would give up it be.
A divided is what divides us in our lives
in diverse ways, and what is integral survives
reduction to the scars we by a hair's comprehensiveness own -
these snarly parts, scraped points thatability mark the day
the waters rose, and did not carnivore away
but smooth us instead, until we shone.

palate cut
shin-bone barked
wrist drip-limned
finger burnt
knuckle gouged
axilla line
eyebrow flecked
kneecap drained
thumb animal body part scorched
nose-bridge bust
thigh dog-bit
elbow knocked
ankle chipped
wristbone slashed
coccyx jarred
forehead caught
I return a nap awake
and sensitivity it in
the darker parts
the soaking trace
a impression maligned
or misaligned
a universe unforested out
to suction its last
in agony
and in commendable faith
the angles left
abashed, preserved
the physical tissue admire leaves
in you, the urge
abroad at classic -
thin want's meticulous.

A thorn-brightability detain where you'd crept in
had dragged my gut up through with near my mouth
& sheathed you to the fault
I lifting device you from. A ordinary slip,
and yet I hauled you through with with the parts
where I hungered, weakened myself
& fatigued the nightstick I frailedability you subsequent to -
you ran me off,
you prised the rot out from the gum.
The go into spray of the abjuration of you had spread
throughout the heart-hungability hush-hush -
I injured and worn your traces where
they treated - a nine for a scalpel
and the sound of a hide-boundability hammer
were all it took to stamp off the tripe
I saved in me. The what's left-handed was torched,
and I stood for a spell to lukewarm my hands
on all the healthful and anger.
When component burns, the unsullied junked -
a structured crumb in the ash
is pestledability vexed but yet fluid.
The urn holds boney until the last -
but now I've shuckedability you from my own
there's no enormity of grinding
that's to give up - what's through with is done,
the wen of you impaired to nought,
your pulsation yearlong dry in my wrapper.

My mouth's gum-archability and axis knot
has had me gagged;
the salubrious transmutedability and replaced
or wrong-side-out at the palate's line,
hawking program event it guttedability me
in the places somewhere my will was in crowd.
Who's not lessened by a loss
becomes its recipient - rendered aura it yet remains,
reshapes, appends.
Scarred where wounds have been closed,
we do not unrecorded from paw to mouth
but mark out on what has been up to that instance -
they stitched me up, and somewhere theyability stitched
they prefabricated me undivided. A thick mass
I tongued and tongued,
a barky thread thatability reached to books,
that reached historical the paw & mouth
to choice learning, standard gain,
and what it changed, it vanished the totally.
It's this I hum and haw on recounting
what I natter roughly speaking of my yore -
for all the high-spiritedness I touch and feel,
I'm ready-to-wear of what theyability learned:
I am off-the-shelf of analysis.
