I remember my childhood
I remember the occasional bruises
I remember the rare cuts
I remember the tetanus vaccines
I remember the injuries from wood
Shots on the ***
Intra-dermal injections
My father told me
"It is funny when the nurse does that,"
I was young,
I was shy, I still am,
Shy in my own ways.
I am very ticklish and
My lower back is more so,
My dad tricked my fear away,
I would lie stomach facing the bed,
Papa staring into my eyes smilingly,
And the nurse would ***** my ***
I would feel a tingy sensation,
And I would laugh in fear!
Literally — I don't lie.

I do not know why I love the needle
The pain as it enters my skin
I long for the sight of blood bursting into the syringe
Far more than the dangerous drugs contained within

I love the needle
They call it a "fixation"
I call it friendship

you can have it
the inside
of my mouth
a mirror’s
hell
-
it’s a toothbrush
lamb-dust
not
a moth killer
-
saint of consensus
god
a toy
that doesn’t
share, mosquito
-
the dream’s
church bell

You were a part of my life before,
But today you are not.
Feelings that were there between us
Are now all forgot.
You replaced my fondness with hatred
By injecting it into my veins.
Where once there was love and happiness
Now there is only pain
