Malignant Poem by Armadillo Poet

Malignant



It begins as crabs' pincers
Clipping the tendrils of rotting neurons
As they try to free their legs.

Each pinch erases a memory
Of someone good,
Until all you are left with is a rage
That leaves you unspeakable
And renders human discourse
As the howling of death birds.

So is it cancer, or just narcissism?

I'd prayed for the former:
When my mouth opens,
Claws pour out.
