When his mother was dying we each said goodbye I was moved to tears. The funeral came and though I tried to remain stoic, English, I cried. Then he died, pulled under by umbilical cords, tied by my bloodied hands. When the service came I cried then too. My parents told me not to cry, as though it was an admission of guilt. Still I wept through the service, as though their sternly worded advice meant nothing. I sat and felt several tides of sorrow wash over me. I tried to clench my bowels when it came. Through the first I stayed strong, forcing the emotion down. The second wave made my eyes water; and whilst a stray tear dribbled off my chin I remained strong, forcing the emotion back down my swollen throat to maintain composure. The third wave came, and though I kicked and struggled to keep my head above the guilty waves I sank below My weeping, scabbed face betrayed the guilt of a murderer and finally I let go Allowing the full horror of what had transpired to engulf me. I drowned, my face covered by my ***** jacket. The priest offered for us to share a final moment with the victim before he was burnt to ashes And I, like the guilty party sat stock still, paralysed by the truth; that I, at that young age, had killed And whilst I swore that I would never **** again I collapsed adrift on a bitter sea of tears, Howling at the injustice that I had wrought. Later, when composure had been regained I felt a stirring in those clenched bowels. I sat down on the porcelain throne and proceeded to **** out a large and meaty **** I strained, my eyes watered, and my **** tipped to the edge of prolapse. Comforted, I wiped and then felt nothing. With humility I knew, that I was not noble Simon Daedalus but lowly Leopold Bloom. The same avenues corporeal brinkmanship that led me to that sad place Had led me to safety. It was at first a sad realisation But I’m happier now.

The Corporeal Man

I haven't looked at this one in ages. I was shocked and repulsed to the point where I considered editing it. Then I realised that my former self must've thought that was kind of the point.
