take me on to the river, i'll be
sinking
tonight
under a scalpel bladed artist's fingers

leave what's left of my yawning bones,
marrow weeping
from the wounds
let the incisions bleed

again-

my scars will heal hypertropic,
subatomic
to the misery
you have wrought

in a coral coated stream
fill my lungs
with melted steel and suspend my spine
on disbelief -

we'll rebuild
on a stone sewn canvas,
painting peonies with
cold tipped claws

bruising shades and hematoma tones we're----
it's
all over;
bandage me

bandage

me

in silverfish shimmers,
grouper gauze
cover ghosting ghost fish blemishes
in seraphic scales

i'll heal
this time
