He formed like a stone in her gut.
A wet, hard, slimed stone, Unbreakable and never ending. On a plate it would resemble a face, Sweaty and puffed, over-exerted. Scalpel slide and slice, A deep cut face Corner, edge, eye lid, flap of skin, tooth out of place. She can’t shake him out, but he pushes towards the surface. Can she reach into herself and pluck out the offensive face? Movement this way and that, the face, without a head to hold it fixed is twisted. Refraction through some eye-bound lens. Blur the focus and snap back Sharp. Spikes through her. His stone rotates slowly In her now he speak straight to her head – His words ring and spine around her brain “You’ll be rid of me…
Here I disintegrate within you My shards will seep out through your skin Puncture the surface. Time is all. I am moving already” Under force of push and pull, from in and out
Her skin is long and wide, flat and thin. And breaks. – Neal Keating
