11 days more of heartbeats
By estherbell
tick tock time
still
numb numb
no feel no
pain oh slow .. .. .. .. h e a r t b e a t s . . . .
cold so cold --limbs freeze-- no blood why no
cry heat I
am inhabited
just a seed
no more no
da da da dam da da da dam
a lentil with a
heart already
why .... .... .... .... twice as fast as the one
above
in retreat
no eye no I
no ear no
feel
no you no face
just holes
oh dear
will bleed will bleed will
drip... drip...drip
tick tock tick
tock
tick tock tick tock TICK TOCK

That's certainly one way to look at such things. This reminded me of someone in an insane asylum, hunched in fetal position in the corner, muttering to herself these things while picking apart her hair and face. The psych tech comes in with the syringe ':` "no fear", and then bam, the screen goes black.
