Does This Ink Blot Make My Ass Look Big?

Body Dysmorphia

By Gerard DiLeoPublished 3 years ago • Updated 3 years ago • 1 min read
"Don't look at me!"

Jet black darkness

Reflecting back no colors

Is the temperament

Pareidolia seeks

.

Curves and jerky continuity

Belie the lies of fluidity

Fencing in the beckoning darkness

When the vacuum peaks

.

Murky and menacing

Inviting but cold

Resisting but bewitching

What Rorschach mirrors wreak!

.

How I present my ink

To others, unsightly

Ugliness inside and out

From a blotter of shrieks
