CONDOLENCE
By Jessica DePue

I know you must be human inspite of your purple heart
My choice color and organ of preference

Lucky days. Empty lots our street across
Became treasured past midnight's trysts

Life beyond your impact marks my skin unfairly
Pale form dissolves to water falling

Maniacle inspection and one telling infection
You were never wrong, it was me all along

Getting off towards this wayward abandon
Cryptic parallels got me thinking new worlds

Possess keys to love your void
Creative vices answer silence with more

Fuck my size against your sighs
Transcend my therapist's degree

I like talking into blank tapes
Bleak and strung with hopeful lust

My emails mimic voices coherent into wind
So many times you fail to listen

Succeed to carve my cavities
Stoic blocks of hollowed ice

I am a physiology diagram
Where the body split open sesame

Revealing acute dimensions
Except for where I drip asymmetry

Messy leak bleach clean my spots
Donate a mess to Science

Make my display steril
Brush me away, change everything

As I observe through plastic veins
No feeling

...Good
