Phantom Limb Masturbation |
| It started as a child |
| When I first sought to flirt with fate |
| I’d lay next to the tracks with arms outstretched across the rails |
| Daydreaming, fantasizing of sparks and screeching brakes |
| The plumes of bright red, gushing, iridescent in the sun |
| Adopt a life of struggle |
| One down, three more to go |
| Desire: amputation |
| Leave me writhing in the limbless throes |
| It is deficiency I crave |
| I want so to be helpless, to inferiority a slave |
| A clump of breathing flesh |
| Free from extremity |
| Now replete with nothing left |
| Disassemble me, limb from limb |
| Oh, what a treat! |
| No more feeling incomplete nor encumbered by this lie |
| My prayer is for calamity |
| Merciful blades to sever me |
| Crippling, detruncating |
| Immobile by design |
| Majestic, ancient titan swims proudly in its tank |
| I wish to slake its hunger, flailing my legs as bait |
| «I finally feel complete! |
| I am now whole!» |
| Superfluous gesture, an unnecessary art |
| Sacrificial offering unto the gilded saw |
| Rid me of my shame— of what I’ve overachieved |
| My envy is the handicapped |
| Lord, I beg of you, I plead… I plead! |
| Wheelchairs, prosthetics, crutches— |
| All stimulus to me |
| My love, beyond mere fetish |
| Call it disabling |
| I’d waltz upon a landmine |
| Feed digits to machines |
| Phantom limb masturbation— |
| The only way! |
| Disassemble me, limb from limb |
| Oh, what a treat! |
| No more feeling incomplete nor encumbered by this lie |
| My prayer is for calamity |
| Merciful blades to sever me |
| Crippling, detruncating |
| Immobile by design |
| Disassemble me, piece by piece— |
| A loving feat |
| Body image, incomplete— |
| Corrected by a knife |
| My hope is for catastrophe |
| A gangrenous limbdectomy |
| Dismantling, dismembering |
| Cut down to perfect size |
