Origins:
how tempting
to their return
should be
by which we may obtain
the empty.
And I envision myself
skinnily.
How physically putrid
yet mentally free.
Such is the monster,
masquerading disease
as sacrifice
while sedating
a once-vivid pulse
into whispered beats.
But oh, how elating
to partake in the cancer
for which no answer
is ever obtained...
