Arches

Thoughts between my thighs sparking lightning bolts between my teeth

Plagues of wetness running hot lava floods down my legs

Drowning Noah in his safe-haven ark

Gums bruised, bleeding

Lips boxing-match swollen,

minced, split, broken

Flesh scorched raw with heat,

crawling with vessels burst violet and violent

Ache climbing,

my stairway to hell-cracked spine

Deadly chills curling my toes in phantom spasms of haunting

Muscle and sinew, rotting,

fatigued from exhausted exertion

Buried heavy in dirt-clogged graves

And all the while

my throat bleeds out heavy and piercing
