Blood Floats

Blood floats

It is what's inside that horrifies me
The churning
The independent thing
Stirring
Living
Eating me
Devouring me

Blood floats
I float

I awaken
In the vomit covered sheets
Sour
And putrid
There are eyes everywhere
Dead eyes
Cold stares
They roll across my skin
Each with a tiny mouth
Scissor like teeth
Gnashing my tender skin
I bleed in thin lines

Blood floats
I float

Spilling over from the inside
Each tiny mouth
Without an eyelid
Strewing miles of gut
Throughout me
Wrapping me up on the outside
Chiding laughter
Small elf like voices
Eyelids severed
Fluttering like fairy wings
Unattached
Tapping
Tap-tap-tap
Atop my feet
A spinning bed
Carried by waves

Blood floats
I float

A swelling brain
Compressed thoughts
Mushy
Eaten
From the inside out
Spinal fluid shines
It floats
Unblinking eyes
flutter

Blood floats
I float

Sticking sticks
Deep inside my ears
Coming from the inside to the outside
Sticks
Poking
Prodding
Atop my feet
Giggle sounds flee
Impaled on a twig

Blood floats
I float

What's inside
Pulls and twists
Cuts my skin
Peels me inside out
Little eyes without lids
With tiny scissor mouths
Turn the bed
Sour the sheets
Make me bleed

Blood floats
I float
