You
always were curious
about the insides of things,
and what makes them work;
but now you are obsessed.
You 
strip me naked
in public places
but your eyes
remain unsatisfied.
You
I can tell
cannot be
entirely happy
until you see 
my living bones
dark blue, fresh, 
still damp from 
the flesh
you peeled from them
laid out before you
for closer examination.
You 
won't feel fulfilled
until you hold my
glistening 
gray pink brain
cupped unresisting
in your 
probing fingers
while my opened skull
smiles unfelt mockery 
from atop 
the small pile of
me 
scattered at
your feet.

Ahhhhh....is this the product of another of your nightmares? I do remember that one where a green-eyed person's head ends up in a box under your bed...
Hi, Nonny. But you did remember it, didn't you? No, no nightmares this time -- just dabbling in allegory or metaphor, or something along those lines.
Ahhh...well, I do love dabblers in metaphor or allegory...that makes this piece even better. And I remember the other one because the head's description sort of matched mine!!!
