The Decision

installed firmly between walls of meat my lungs roll in  thick   fluid eyes grow upon each surface - blinking hysterical  sound and light - confused and gauze    I have memory of my mother - breathing quiet but shuddering in this tomb of  refracted   soup each finger webbed to its neighbor paddling amniotic - whispering electricity     mother -  I will not exit to the light - to whatever madness awaits - whatever role summoned by the pitying vision of my creators...    memory I choose to float ceaseless in this dreaming languid pea in a belly the muck of life my cushion  unto   death
