Juicy red and
Purple bruised,
Sweet as overripe,
rotten berry
flows under streetlights
By night
like a liquid crystal thing
Gravity takes her
by the full moons light
Pinpricks will swell with infection,
new flesh takes over
white scars will raise silently
like mushrooms in the dark
Bruises will fade to purple and green
while she falls into stasis,
suspended in sleep
