please
forgive me,
this chest scar,
is a crack in the heartland,
deep rupture,
grime and shadow seeping in.
landscape,
an infinite black lake.
I can see
my reflection clear in it;
it is
broken glass, fragmented and
reassembled again,
again,
monstrous, twisted as a
swan dipped in oil, drowned twice, feathers
lathered so thickly, so
irrecoverably.
oil, oil, it drips so
slowly and sickly and
sweetly.
