Suspend me from a hook
to dangle
face down
for
I am ashamed,
no longer able to
stand on my
own
Looking on to listen,
offer nothing to support
except my
dust,
in place of hollowed
bone
This trail of breadcrumbs
has lead me astray,
lost,
from myself
wandering thru the deep woods
every creature, a threat
every song, a howl
Soil too coarse to walk upon
A reservoir of dehydration
Thirsty, hungry, tired
stank of regret
Tangled in vines like wire, sharp as tacks, stifling as fear
I've played against your game,
tried to hide
my hide
up inside
the manikin
your bullet created
entrapped, secured and stuffed
full of your filthy thoughts
NOW,
pose her in a life like position,
trophy mount her
Display her as you wish
She's no longer mine...
