Sanity

Dispensable sanity, how dare you cry again. That
bulldozer took you from me.
Insurmountable loss engaging memories
teasing me, flogging me
with their unconscionable words spoken
One after the other,
one after the other,
this black hole undertones
the swallowing surrogate in my mind.
Give me my arm so I can touch it!
Give me my leg so I can feel it!
Why interrupt me fool?
You the plotters of distortion's.
Twirling untroubled hair
tasting the delight of your victims
with bellies nourishing empty.
Human garbage, they say.
Tongues licking their facade
where flakes of the limp have fallen.
Sanity had tried.
Dearest tender scraps, how could I dismiss you?
Fear the precision of repressed hope
carving and languishes still.
But where has the other been?

They say, "Engaging sanity, my dear."
