Tug of War

Taciturn days and nights

My sinister side laid bare

Skin peeled back by the jaws of life

Raw flesh, sinew, muscle, organs, tendons, bone, marrow, pulsing veins

My own bare hands pulling at my heart,

pulling it like wet rope through my own rib cage

My body pulls back

An epic tug of war

Tugging, drugging, slugging, hugging

 

It's not about me. It's about my crime.
