phantom limb masturbation

black dahlia murder, the

it started as a child

when i first sought to flirt with fate

i'd lay next to the tracks with arms outstretched across the rails

daydreaming fantasizing of sparks and screeching brakes

the plumes of bright red gushing iridescent in the sun

adopt a life of struggle

one down three more to go

desire: amputation

leave me writhing in the limbless throes

it is deficiency i crave

i want so to be helpless

to inferiority a slave

a clump of breathing flesh

free from extremity

now replete with nothing left

disassemble me

limb from limb oh what a treat

no more feeling incomplete nor encumbered by this lie

my prayer is for calamity

merciful blades to sever me

crippling

detruncating

immobile by design

majestic ancient titan

swims proudly in its tank

i wish to slake its hunger

flailing my legs as bait

i finally feel complete. i am now whole."
