It started as a child
When I first sought to flirt with fate
I’d lay next to the tracks with arms outstretched across the rails
Daydreaming, fantasizing of sparks and screeching brakes
The plumes of bright red, gushing, iridescent in the sun
Adopt a life of struggle
One down, three more to go
Desire: amputation
Leave me writhing in the limbless throes
It is deficiency I crave
I want so to be helpless, to inferiority a slave
A clump of breathing flesh
Free from extremity
Now replete with nothing left
Disassemble me, limb from limb
Oh, what a treat!
No more feeling incomplete nor encumbered by this lie
My prayer is for calamity
Merciful blades to sever me
Crippling, detruncating
Immobile by design
Majestic ancient titan swims proudly in its tank
I wish to slake its hunger, flailing my legs as bait
