TESTING THE LIMITS

Is this another informed,noxiousdecision?
to endlessly bleed (as non-mothers)
upon corporate tables of Bacchanalia
or stray out into the cyclical wilderness
giving your first asArtemisamongst animals
dragged for the hunt; make it quick

and ...empty

They say it doesn't hurt so much
If you are expecting the pain

It's an endless cycle ofNephthysandIsis
Like the lioness with her ointment jar
Alternately healing and inflicting false wounds

Fuck you and your perpetual length of rope
Looped as a hangman for extra troubled times
The collapsible noose creates puppet strings

knotnow...

Disintegration upon strung out neck; life
cracked slowly;Coup de grace?

no grace...
save face
Your knife, blunt from the saddened years,
is useless in this futile war
Rust has frozen its twist; in halting breath
Stifled wheezes scream (blown from constricted fancies)
Dangling is no longer an option
The blade still has enough bite...

to break free.
