An Original Piece of Art
Write a song or poem, but it has to be original. I look forward to reading your unique pieces. Have fun!
dissection
dark green skins against immaculate white countertops
sunlight reflected on shiny metal, sharpness slit open
the tightness of death held the dried-up frog together,
without leaving a stain of blood even as the vessels broke.
how i wish you would cut me open, unravelling my body
piece by piece, until you find the core of my dying heart,
your name engraved with scalpels on my soul. and yet
the frog lies wide open, in my head your shadow echoed,
as i held its heart in my hands, the pumping beneath
latex gloves, i think i saw the world through your eyes.
