Viscera/visceral
The goodbye

How you effected the whole of my viscera
heart, it’s like a stinger was let inside with a sutured kiss.
lungs, it’s like helium was frozen inside of them.
liver, the leftover stuff from your runaway trauma from your childhood was filtered through in here
intestines, I miss you, I miss you,
stomach, I miss you
kidneys, I
Miss
You
Thoracic Viscera: Heart, lungs:
It’s as though the lungs warped to wrap a noose around my heart
Choking on the leftover helium that froze itself inside
Crying slow drops of liquid flight
The temperature so low that I might faint
The goodbye, the death,
The love that severed itself
The visceral viscera that remade my organs into sludge.
