Face, Flesh, Flash

The flesh flew off my face in a flash

My hair went white overnight

All the colours from my Juliet cheeks

Slipped under my collar

Past my belt and cemented themselves

Damply in my lap

"I am not going anywhere" I screamed

As my eyes slopped out

Watching the howling shell

As they fell

Stripped and ghoulish

(And ghoulish)

I'm the heart of an oyster

The arse of a hermit crab

Or even less gelatinising and softening

By the second unable to see it

Or figure it out

So my bones and my nails have joined the rest of me

A pool of unman that gurgles and screams

As it slips down the drain

The flesh flew off my face in a flash

(Flesh, face, flash)

(Hair white overnight)

My hair went white overnight

(Flesh, face, flash)

(Hair white overnight)

Gelatinising

(Flesh, face, flash)

(Hair white overnight)

My flesh flew off my face in a flash
