hiss of
blankness
white noise
smile
face slack
can't think
the words
jumble together
tumbling
into the jello
wall of the
white noise
(with his cap
and placid eyes)
burrow into the
blanket (warm) of
emptiness
veins blue and purple
running through
blood stirring
waiting

hit my head
against the smooth
wall
toilet stall enclosing
medicinal smell
(once i threw up
here)
thump thump thump
smooth black pain
melts into the
white wall
hunger for blood
(suck it from
between
your teeth)

arm lain open
methodically
warmth
red
spilling onto
hot water
weeping wrists
tongue bitten
in haste
(start over)
argument over
movies i can't
concentrate on
girl talking into
phone (is
anyone on the
other end?)
kneeling in the
filled bathtub
rust colored water
taste of blood
on my lips
(emotional vampire)

can't
want to shove
my fingers
down my throat
no haste
vision blurry
talk and laughter
from those in
charge
(they hold the
worn keys)
ate that little
bit
ate that
there is a
black hole
where
my stomach
used to be

wait
look at the
red
mouth cherry
droplets of
crimson
on the blade
(bought in a
pack from 5.99)
wait
