PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

Heterozygous for sickle cell

all the babies are reared in stables

there are always flys in their faces

the cytoplasm never freezes

bugs year round 

took thousands of years to get the fuck out of there

out from home, where the diseases are

penetrating some African bitch's ass

hitting the head on the bumpy tissue between the pelvis and rectum

feels like bubble wrap, from your tippy toes

hear her moan, speak in hoodoo native tongue  

mop up the cum farts when she stands up

go to a dinner for fettuccine Alfredo 

read a few chapters of dune

load up on zinc and quercetin 

viruses and cells 

a battle more ancient than any animal migration

the power of infection, lysis, healing 

there is no winning 

there are clever molecules and poppy derivatives 

chewing on roots until the pathogen figures that out to

corrupted tissue apoptosis

necrotic tendrils like black starfish 

die, decompose, regenerate 

the vesicles that take it to the blood, the kidneys that filter it out

at some point it required conscious energy

the first volvox like organisms summoned the cellular scaffolding through sheer force of will

dexterous cilia performing self surgery 

removing the brain through the nose and putting it in a jar

based on some vague intuition of a higher power and eternal life
