spelling in bruises
"crazy iris"
writing out in welts
"the morbid iris"
intolerable
incomprehensible
you can never earn enough
to buy the gun that you want
so you photograph the marks
but the blood you spite
sputters up up up up
out out out out
up and up
up and up
drafted in a gash
"out of focus iris"
fill up the bath with glass
and cover your face
in the shroud of impossible feeling
in the shroud of impossible feeling
in the shroud of the impossible feeling
