is no one gives a shit
about the unnecessary filth squandered
in those holes of unused that gape all through our being
swiss cheese of fluids
leaks everywhere, we know not how
to be our own plumber
and we wander around hoping to stumble
against some other leaky surface
and our leaks find a cap
somewhere among the other's leaks
by soothing happenstance
like bumbling teletubbies unaware
of our being's true design
leaking cheese
moldy fluids
crying infection and please take a look
and please spare a second or two
to open you and treat you
emotional peroxide
yes it stings
and yes it bleeds
and yes it cries
and yes it dies
just on the surface it needs a scar
please give me a scar
the pus drains me bit by bit
so long has it hidden
ragged, filthy, bleeding in the basement
where we deign not sink
oh no i'm past that
i'm over that
while the maggots continue
to eat my child alive from the inside
that still cries out from the basement
give me light
and hold me tender, i can be alright
just not tonight. tonight
i'm a rotting ghoul
and i can't not be that
if i stay here
