call back

I'll cup my hand over it
with a flame under
and heat and push and heat and push
until I can warp the image held therein

if this doesn't work
I will explode it
blow it out
till there are too many pieces

for a mind to breathe in
to reconstruct
a memory

nah
get it the fuck away from me

I bolted
it dangling behind me
attached by a dark cord of viscera
like a screaming dagger
