The Niche
There is fear about woodwork and nighttime.
They are so unevenly connected.
You cut off your arms to make it better,
you say, I am plain, this way I can be better.
I open up the freezer door.
There is chopped up meat inside
hanging from the rafters, hacked and frozen.
I am trying to figure out
what to make for dinner tonight.
I will be better if I can make dinner.
For once,
if everything goes where it is supposed to,
I will be satisfied.
I will be satiated and full.
This goes here,
and your arms go back to your body,
they will go back,
at least when you die.

If it works it would be ace, but at the moment I am not getting it.
I like the use of repetition.
