darkness extends its warm arms around me and its fingernails trace the delicate purple veins tattooed on my forearms thin curlicues and tiny vessels of this very thing-- this thing that reverberates and reverberates and reverberates within this tiny black knife makes its first vicious forceful trace-- the curls becoming faucets of this bluish purple liquid a puddle which defiles the pristine floor -- maybe this is a suitable cleaning device-- a thin rod with this pointy shiny silvery tip, collecting tiny mercury ***** from the puddle, as I rearranged the puddle into the thing bluish purple liquid curlicues just like that whence they came
