Sever my spinal cord
And watch me face plant
Into the ground
Succumb into the earth
Envelope within darkness
Watch roots dig trenches
Beneath my fingernails
And grow sprouts from my
Waxing moon eyes
Sever the tendons
That loosen my tongue
And extend my wrists
Watch lies turn into knots
Pretty satin bows,
Woven between my arms
Like dancing serpents
Sever my neck
And watch my heart spill
Like gore, and my thoughts
Spill like sunshine rolling off clouds
Watch the air that I breathe
And the stories I weave
Turn into wisps of mumbled mist
Sever my lungs
So that every song is a gasp
And every tale is forgotten
Beneath the sounds of the world
As it moves recklessly through the wild
Sever my soul
Free
Within a disturbance of the universe
