flawless victory (or, a vision in a dream. a fragment.)

an unrelenting ache
beset me, my stomach
all the supposed remedies failed
boil! burn! churn!:
a battered, defeated ship
in an ocean of fire

then I wade through
the haze of pain
to reach the handle
of the sword from the
floating bundle my poor ancestor
gave me...

as I lifted the steel blue sword
hushed the body of water
in a split of a second
then the erect came down,
seperating the liquid
penetrating my meat --

oh the sweet surrender...
oh the echoes of evaporation...
all around me,
the fetid waters' destruction
all of a sudden --

then, from the chasm came out and down
singular pieces of rotten emotion:
cut! crushed! crunched!
on the ground tingling
like little worms
trying to reach their hidden holes.
