Sterilized Print

She only ever wanted

the sterilized print...

...Her body had

too many faults

a split mind

would invent...

...Because of this,

she scrubbed it bare

of marks with her

adept software...

...But there was some-

thing she erased

that ached down deep

inside...

She realized she'd

made a mistake

by tossing this

behind.

She only ever wanted

the sterilized print...

...Her body had

too many faults

a split mind

would invent...

By cleaning up

those copies for the

one's which she desired,

she helped them to

adjust their mask...

Stoking a deadly fire.

What else will you

clean up, poor Jess?...

The broom always

conceals your mess,

But Trash Day will soon

change it's date...

...Your nervous heart's

a heavy weight

that draws you to the

blue black Sea,

who finally cloaks you

eagerly.
