Needles

I lie here, dick-length from
your perfect warmth
and it stings, knowing
what I'll do to you.
The tar-thick scent of decay
already writhes between us
and it's only a matter of time
before my needles break through
your beautiful skin
like a thousand
bloated
pricks
spraying your insides
with all my dirt and revulsion.
I press my face hard against
the matted fuzz on your chest
knowing that I need to let you go.
I can't even look at you
without feeling tumorous

I can almost smell it, so rich in imagery and sense.
We seldom get such honest, gut level work here.

I've been recording my own readings of people's work and posting them as a form of feedback but not sure if I can do this. For starters I'm not female, but I'm willing to give it a try if you would like to hear it in another voice.

cheers,

I appreciate your thoughtful review and Yes! I would adore to hear your voice breathe some life into this. It would be an honour!

On further reading the line
knowing that I need to let you go
jars a bit, almost like a bit of psycho-babble on a post-it note stuck to a pile of steaming guts. Perhaps
you are gone
or
feeling your empty husk
just ideas, you know? Something more in tone with the rest.

cheers,
Jess

Utterly Superb. You gave it breath!
Thank you so much for that. I truly appreciate it.

Would you allow me to respond by reciting one of yours?
