My Gelatin Head

Slugging outside of this imploding cube Instantly, the air is contaminated, And only momentarily, will I pollute the entire room, My jangly displeasure consolidated. I come in solely as an interior Burying my face in my cuffs. You look down at me as I am inferior, Smiling, with your hands full of ashes and dust, Of all that remains from our cremated hearts. Your swift steps reverberates the dilapidated tiled floors Like the hums of wishes through laboured breathing, Like the creaking in my head from the pre-vocalizing doors. Sinking into the essence of my sadness, Journeying back and forth and back again. Uncomfortably, through these conditioned doors I crawl, To seek and assemble words, To position them like Velcro on the polysyllabic cerebrum walls. That will shape the size of my cuts and bruises In undeniable places, As a mouthful begins to cascade and fall. Sinking in my invertebrate state, My physical texture of life Salutes me once again. Of the stem of creation, And unpleasant satisfaction, Inside my gelatin head.
