I
I'll prise you open with shaking fingers because everyone around me is quiet
Watching moving pictures which do not move
As little sound as possible in dim light which is only partly reflected in you
In my mouth you crunch and my eyes dart left and right
But soon it is soft, melting, slipping into me slowly like the fondest memory
And I have given up in pleasing the irritated whispers and angry nudges
Into you I will go, my fingers becoming softer and smoother with each release
Of salted, fattening sheets
I am a poor, hollow creature who has waited so long to gorge
II
All I hear is strings of letters and I am in love
I see multitudes of colours and weep at their beauty,
I see grayscale, I see noir, I'm shocked at their significance
Because my life is so insignificant
Nothing to birds who fly without me
Nothing to worms who bury not for me
Get your head out of the bag it'll do nothing for you
Nothing for you
Nothing

A mass pushing into me like a great lorry
The leather jacket, the smell of the dead
The skin so shiny like a glass filled with milk,
White and whole and fattening, filling you up
But not full yet, one final blow to come
And the covering of the legs like netting,
Rips apart, an opening to another world,
Begging me, asking for it, shaking with knowing
Had you not picked the fruit from that tree,
Tasting its seeking, desperate sweetness
Perhaps i would not feel your weight as I did
And you would fall down like an infantile bundle of feathers
The epidermis, the subcutaneous layer, the blood
Moving quickly then slowly then quickly
Are you still there? I shouldn’t care
A button falls from your breast, a trickle down your cheek
The eyes, the eyes! They follow me, the train,
Moves slower as it pulls into the station
And makes one final sound, a signal,
I’d rip their eyes out and let them bounce onto the tracks like marbles
So many stains of blood and war and toil
Lie across the carriages and out onto the moors,
I wouldn’t worry,
I’ll make it clean with disinfectant and run smooth again with oil
