You wake, sip, then force
The thick chemical clog to the back of your throat
It sits persistent in dipping skin
And cheek pouches
Like a rodent, you ponder
Spit or swallow
And as she slips
And skips down oesophagus
Forcing her bulging, wrinkled body
Into deeper holes
Deeper hopes
And steeper slopes
She numbs your brain
Body and brain
And numbs the pain
She rests momentarily
Before your stomach
And lurches in chunks upwards to heaven
Tonight’s dinner:
Casserole and rice and bile
She makes your cheeks blush
And hairs stand on end
Sweet lumps of plaque
And yellowed paste propelled
But forcing it down in heavy gulps
She continues her journey
To cancer-ridden joints
Where she makes her dwelling
Your blood her bed
And in the aftermath
She lingers forcefully
In tongue grooves
Beneath and between teeth
Peppered and salted
Plated and served
Your heart rate is jacked
Lip’s bittersweet, and temperament cracked
