update on the nephew

here's a cute shot. clearly he's fitting right in with my brother and sister-in-law!

written in frustration for a laugh

melting

it's almost funny, melting.
hair coasting along
currents and waves
of gooey skin
eyeballs slipping down
like pickle slices
hurled against a storefront window

they ripple into a fleshy pool
gummy beneath my pumas
spinning and twirling about
like they can still see

it's almost funny to melt
organs dripping like crayons
off an almost bare skeleton
and if my tongue hadn't fallen
beside some wriggling intestine
i might just have to scream
because it's just almost that funny
