A poem about beginning again.
Take all the breath out of my lungs
Snap my spine in two and pour the blood out of every vein.
Drill my skull till you feel the clay.
Extract any hidden layer.
Preserve these love soaked eyeballs
or burn them.
Don't forget the eyelashes.
Tweeze the nails out of place.
Blend all the muscles into one big ball.
The order doesn't matter. The timing, even less.
Just peel it back and make room for something new.
