no soap, please

its kind of difficult
and somewhat messy,
trying to nurse
and suture
a festering wound
with fingers bleeding
from holding onto
just threads...

i think
they need
a rest.

Shafinaaz Hassim said...

floaty is good - it lets the sunlight play with your face :)

deep. is. dark. and cold.
but sometimes its embracing.
and whole :P

there comes a time
when we must decide
whether to excise the offending
wound, cauterise, burn
or give little bits to maggots
so they can feed,
gorge themselves on our pain
and so cleanse our wound in turn.

*chuckles*

maybe then,
but not quite now..
im not susceptible to maggots
preferring the use of
a more reliable means
to cleanse and relieve

whats this you ask?
its a dance in the elixir of life!
just a drop and a half
and a bit
on the tongue,
a taste of the worth
of my Self :P
