take your blue BiC and trace a line down my spine
delineate my individual ribs and
sense your pen slip as the skin between them starts to tear
grasp your right hand around my smooth wrist
feel the pads of your thumb and forefinger tingle as they interact around my bones
slam my left arm into the carpet
use your middle finger to stroke the freckled flesh adorning the underbelly of my forearm
pass the pen from your left to right hand
ball your fingers into a tight fist around the slim body of the pen
drive the edge of the object deep into my chest
don't stop until you reach my heart
reach out and grab my heart
yank it free from the bondage of my bruised ribs
hold it in your bloodied hands
watch it tremble and quake each time i inhale
watch it rise and fall each time i release
