[This is a tale about Thursday. WORDS: spire, hinge, computer, and butcher]
And a fucking headache. Noise piling on top of noise piling on top of the scents of early spring morning. Filling my nose and ears and eyes and lungs till I hardly breathe. The bed’s still warm. Thighs and neck covered in the sweet-tasting bruises of an early spring morning of an early spring love. Hair is moist, cheeks are flushed, I flush the toilet.
Bells ringing, sound dancing over the rooftops from the spire in the distance. Church bells, remind me of a terrifying word of commitment. Lack of liberty. I shudder. Never liked pews much anyways. Hard floor kneeling on before Christ but nothing remains in the air. Unlike the scents of early spring morning. Thighs soaked. Hair pulled. Sweetly ringing. A hand runs over it.
Broken door hinge on the bathroom, want to get to the toilet so I squeeze through. Blood on thighs between hips to knee I wipe. Done in the bathroom I squeeze back up.
Hands fall around black plastic next. Smooth screen with illuminated illusion. Laptop computer I pick up above my head go to open window and watch it fall. Like a butcher I smile at the carnage. What a delicious meal. Curtains close and I fall back with a sigh.
