AND THE BLACK BOAT RIDES THE SUNSET WAVES
AND THE BLACK BOAT RIDES THE SUNSET WAVES
jumping out of the wound
my blood deserts me
dancing now
in the sun
such fun
it's having
thinking it is free
of me
not knowing
this sun
as the false friend
it is
that will leave it
clinging to the stones
a stain
that will be seen
by those not present
at the wound's opening
"Come back...come back!"
I call to it faintly
my voice too
deserting my mouth
but the blood just
laughs in my face
as you fumble
in your many-objects-bag
pulling out
your last
Sanitary towel
tie it to my head
trapping the blood
within my skull
my red red river
a prisoner once again
of my corporeal identity
my thoughts hiding
within my battered heart
and the sea
who had thrown me
from rock pool
to rocks
laughs at the male human
wearing a sanitary towel as a hat.
"WHOAH Body-form, Bodyform for you!!!"
