Somewhere, at some             missed venular,
           point in time                  kept hacking into his body,
everything just                fell apart
sloughed off                   gushing
so much                        blood and
rotted flesh                   still bleeding




and fell crumbling
to the earth
I wonder where
my tongue went




sometimes I hope               someone notices
it curled up                   but no one stopped
and dried out                  in my alley... I could have
in my mummified                hands, slashed a few more
throat                         wide open




but secretly I know
I lost my chance
to swallow it whole
when it turned to dust
and seeped down my chin




everyday I tell myself          this'll be the last one
that what I was                waiting for her brutal humiliation
it's not gone forever          until I've militated every inch of flesh




but the taste of death
evaporated long ago
and the thrill
of the hunt and
the fatal attraction
exhausted
and everywhere
blood just became
another stain




for all my death           I'll never die, I'm the story
I'm weary                  of the decades
of it                      enduring long after
                  of                     my victims' gutted lifeless corpses.
envy I                     want to scream
eternal                    life,
and everlasting        suffering
           every sensation
from here to the end of time
