Rotten Plums
by Vivienne Valentine
Age Group: Adult
It's hollowed me out
and filled me back up
with blood not my own,
with mercury,
with stone.
It ate my soft crimson
like a ripe red-black plum,
the juice dripping, dripping.
Lush and nauseous sickly sweet,
the thrumming skipping.
It focuses on the hollow of my throat,
piercing me,
threading me though a needle,
dragging at my fingertips,
burning on my lips.
It's iodine breath biting
at the fragile skin on my wrists.
It can smell my fear.
Delicious.
Rotten fruit.
It cuts and sucks and stings
and cruely devours everything.
It eats me slowly,
still alive.
Author's Location: San Marcos, California
