My flesh remains untorn
for a month
maybe more
It's hard to recall
certain time and dates
but the holes stay
tearing into my hands
little bites from nails
bandaids to cover
not that it helps
they heal no faster
sting no less
but that was the intention
was it not
to sting yourself alive
if you aren't starving yourself to death
quick change disease
from torn flesh
to no flesh
razors exchanged for
a porcelain thrown
it matters not the disease
as long as it hurts
stings
no need to bleed
my hands stay pot-marked
my arms stay scarred
my stomach shrunk
less canvas to paint
in the event of another
quick change disease
