Aforementioned (embarrassing/hilarious) amputation poetry.

a cold appendage is all you are

swollen, log-like

indifferent to touch.

putrid pale yellow leg

turquoise-blue sausage toes

do what you’ve always done

and get on with it.

i want you off! disjointed.

a pile of anonymous bits

tossed in the dumpster

alongside frozen hearts

drowned livers

long since replaced by living parts.

allegiance cramped your style

or so you said. well, look at you now!

we are both only still here hoping

for blood flow, a pinch, a feeble step.

but come on. i know dead when i smell it.
