Blotch

There's a freckle on my heart

And a spot on my lung

A tumor near my liver

A blotch on my tongue

 

There's a gap between my teeth

And a hole beneath my eyes

A tunnel through my bones

A hollow path to my knees

 

Each limb is disconnected

My blood has started to dry

It heals

And scabs

And I pick

 

My circulation's sore

 

Nothing will go through

 

There's a blank idea I have

And a love I want to keep

A darling man in my life

A dream without sleep
