and there laid a corpse
as bare as it came to earth
only transfixed by the very medium
that it arrived there by
immortalised as a sculpture for some
lusted as a muse for others
and cursed as debris for the rest
whose existence is as debated
as your average
contemporary art medium
but only ever so less
as the modern woman
in the current political climate
and sometimes i still wish
my guts were as empty as i feel
so i wouldn't cry at paintings in the museum
and wouldn't suffer losses as my own,
and wouldn't bleed out over my notebook's pages
and my psyche is the only one i perform for
even if my medium is the only one i perform for
there was some sort of laughter
coming from the center of the audience
people look fairly serious
or didn't look serious enough
and its just a thing of a glimmer and a smile and a wink and then a denial of that seriousness
and then a few people look at each other
to confirm or see if that's actually happening
to their neighbours
and even if my art shows are empty
it's still on the bare street
when all eyes are laid on me
even when i no longer have a face
for eyes to be laid on,
and am no longer an object of desire
nor one deserving of liberty,
turned through lust itself
into a creature daughter of satan
incapable of being loved
as little as it loves itself
only a recipient of attention
as a receptacle for the consumption of such
only to distract
from the other vile acts around it
for it's already vile in nature
looking at the audience now
what i'm seeing is
a lot of people talking to each other
and suddenly they look back straight at the mirror
and smile and then they look at each other smiling
to the people they were talking with before
people moving around
swaying
giving a response in that fashion
I see
people waiting
and you can try to kill me
as hard as ive tried myself
but the bloodstain in the shape of your palm
remains printed in the white brick wall
and so does mine
so if youre still here
and now im no longer there
how come i can still see you and
how come i still feel your limbs with mine and
how come we melt together into a
body horror type of creature
restricted by physicality into a hell of its own making
defined only by its most shallow definition
and its most deepest regrets and nightmares
how come it is above the law
as much as it is under it
how come it has your eyes
and looks like you the day you left me
how come no matter how hard i try
i still cant find a pulse
but it still looks at me
from the corner of the room
like you used to do
before grief itself engulfed me
and hung me from my very chair
onto the alfeize of your window
as if the way i couldnt leave you
makes me but a prize to you
but rips me of any value
how you hang a carcass like a trophy
how come no matter how hard i try
i still dont feel the same again
so i just dont bother writing
and prick my fingers out myself
and let my blood speak for me
as it doesnt need words
to justify my humanity for me
and it has no expiry date
or at least the one of alien conscience
so i now speak in a nonverbal way
ever since i got my mouth sewn shut
as i never liked screaming anyway
i bang my head against the wall now
and now the walls aren't white no more
as word on the block's it made staff angry
so it's rotten with tomatoes
thrown by an angry audience
and it's coated with clots
from the very blood of my guts now
as it still drips from beneath me
and it casts pearls before swine
falls from my fingers to the
corners of the lips
of he who nay learnt to drink
my crowd dead
like chips and wires
floor is still falling beneath me
and grants me not a worthy death
but still keeps me around
to only get off on my suffering
as my throat is no longer usable
but my yells still remain amusing
road still remains wet with my footsteps
no matter how hard you pushed me
I WAS STILL HERE SOMEDAY
i still bled out as far as i could
still left a mark that could remind me
of a world that didnt want me
no matter how hard you had me evicted
I WAS STILL HERE SOMEDAY
the very streets you try to bleach out
the same rocks to try to cut from
they were eroded from my touch itself
I WAS STILL HERE SOMEDAY
the snow still marks my trail home
even if i felt home nowhere
i'm still alive searching for somewhere
I CAN SOMEHOW FEEL ALIVE AGAIN
