Imagine an ice pick
to the core of the meat
twist and yank
cracking temples in a vice grip
hammer through bone and gristle
take that sharpened fork
heated sear my tender neck
claw it off my tightened shoulders
with dull saw my jaw ragged
grind out each tooth
every nerve alive
sensitive flesh shivers
mouth waters with contained spew
taste of rot and bananas
every little sound so deafening
chews off my ears
is this what death feels like.
no. no.
This hurts so much better!! Thank you for the idea of adding space. Like you can take a real breath before the heart beats another stanza of pain.
