Involunarily yours, (Free verse) by jacqui
want to fall now;
breakdown in splintered grace.
the splint on my heart has eroded,erased,
with it's desperately hopeful gasps
and their lackluster choke;
arterian walls caked with the crystallizing ash of exhale.
why won't my heart just fail?
fuck my rib cage,unhallowed jail!
inside my hell,
i must await the precendented date
for when fate's sinewy clasps and rusted scissors
will cut and sever,
and cease that involuntary trance-dance tremor
of respiration.
cave in the shredded walls of my heart,
so of the patiently faithful religious hypocrisy,
halting feeling all at once.
pain falling rigid with that old Rigor Mortisey
as soul sieves through,
and my eternal drifting shade shall advance
as the toll of my last quaking breadth
reverberates it's last sorrowed echoes
of the dripping, rigid cliffscape,
flayed flesh, tissue, an muscle
of my abandoned,prop-open thoracic cavity.
