Description
bite yourself open like plastic,
skin slick and foreign
on your tongue.
dismantle yourself carefully,
as no one is to notice until
you fall in preplanned directions
at their feet.
begin at the bottom,
the least exposed.
begin so that you yourself
fail to notice until the middle.

linger.
certain portions
deserve wrenching.
hush each instinct as they rear.
they are superfluous,
hindrances.
the middle is meat;
you, in the thick of it,
but not yet fully impaired.
take special care removing
shredded flesh around
the wounds in your belly. they are
deep and ever-rotting.
without concerned intervention,
they would have torn away
at each organ with all the
snarl of animals.
do not spare them any guilt.

the end is of utmost importance.
you are dripping now,
edged and slim, present.
rush.
finish before you overpower
yourself, before you are left
ragged and panting, your edges
barely scraped into a being.
finish it before
you remember.
