beautiful inside

by alissa-grinch

He said “you’re beautiful inside” What it supposed to mean? I think I just can’t see those things that he is tend to see. Of course I cannot see them. My eyes are tightly closed, my eyes are covered with my forehead that’s tensioned on my nose. “You’re beautiful inside, I’m gonna prove. But you should calmly lie and please don’t make a move.” He doesn’t care about my voice, the language that I spoke, about my dress, about my face and feeling they evoke. He said “you’re beautiful inside”, and made three deepest cuts. Now he can see what’s inside me: my lungs, my spleen, my guts. He put his hand beneath my heart, his fingers slowly shrunk. With other hand, so calmly, he dug into my flank. He does not care that I'm too heavy, My vessels he likes more. He said they’re cleaner than they could be. The inner beauty of the sore. My mind does not seem spoiled to him, or crazy, weird or strange. he said that nothing wrong with me He wouldn’t let it change. I told him I am dull. There’s something he can find cutting out my nerves. I’d rather he was blind. He doesn’t know what I was doing all night long, that I was drawing kidneys with arteries beyond. The only thing he does is wash away my blood from table and his shoes to give another cut. I’m paralyzed and sliced, my skin is livor mortis. Spread out on the table small pieces of my cordis. He does not think I stink. For him I’m full of stories. He’s making notes with knifes He cuts away my worries. He cuts hearts on my knees Love letters made by stings. With quiet me he’s playing tic tac toe on my hips. He has got to the heart of me, studied my every cell. disassembled and gathered back, sewed neatly. He did that well. He said “beautiful inside” But nothing about the rest. Thank you autopsist You have seen in me only the best.
