up the neck

anger and lust my senses running amok

bewildered and deluded

have i been hit by a truck?

when my tongue lay inside his lip

but i woke up with a headache that split my skull

alone in the room

i got down on the floor with my head pressed between my knees

under the bed with my teeth sunk into my own flesh

i said
