metaphor killed the porno star

fragmented trash of reality
oozing filthy broken slush
into the hurricane's
blue, blue eyes.
precious maggots
adoring my flesh
bruising my ego
with petal-soft mouths
chewing and chewing and chewing
at this tight canvas
restricting my limbs,
breaking my heart,
abusing my lust.
spider love
dumping sane eggs
into my colon
where they crawl up into my liver
to survive on my bile
and irritate my interior sinuses
with webs of good intention.
nothing will flush them out.
they will rot here inside of me,
feeding from my bones
long after i've died.
they will create a new me -
a girl without fear
or creativity
or concern for others.
they will manipulate me
with sleek movements
of their bottle-glass bodies
and take over my life
before anyone
has begun to notice the loss
of someone who could care.
wait a moment...
...do i hear the buzz of insects?
perhaps
they have already infested me
just before i could open my eyes,
before i could vomit up their poison.
what might that bitter taste be?
what is this vile thing i have swallowed?
what is this ache twisting my stomach
and devouring my soul?
me.
not they, but we.
oh, no...
... it was always
(un|deniably)
myself.
