CN: Graphic self-harm mention,
medication, food
A limp sack of chemicals
Throws rainbow pills in the water
Pink capsules, white tablets and fine blue powder
Melt into a primal soup of clinical consolation
A contorted lump of flesh
Has blades slash through its blue veins
Crimson blood springs from marine vessels
And ruddy blossoms bloom from virgin towels
A hypertensive bag of sweets
Pours melted chocolate into its throat
While its reflection on the blurry mirror
Has already burst open –
Then it
Drowns in rainbow porridge,
Mouth sealed with damp deflowered towels
And dissolves into a bittersweet mess
