I severed that tie
with definitive force
I cut it off
and cast it out
then I set it on fire
powdered the ashes
and buried it deep
far far away
but it haunts me still
the flesh of my flesh
that lost appendage
cleaved from the bone
a bloody sacrifice
to some lesser evil
it’s a revenant organ
or a phantom limb
it’s a forbidden exhumation
and an itch I long to scratch
.
