Chronic.

Feedback Please

My skin is felted and my stomach is plied the wrong way.

And yet, I must drive the needle through

Let its hooks catch on my woolen flesh

Tangle my nerves bunched into roving

And spin my veins into yarn

It is an endless task.

But I must keep spinning,

I must keep weaving,

I must keep felting my skin back together, piece by piece by piece by piece

I feel the wool rot.

The usual decompose, the usual dust settling into still twitching muscle

But I am not allowed to slow

To slow is to die.

So the needles still drive through, veins are still spun

And I realize I cannot comprehend eternity.

Feedback :D
