Regurgitating a Stomach

Lilla Orbán


What festered in my brain was like planting bullets into my sink drain,

I must have had every disease, I was purple down to my silver knees,

My head overhead, held up to be bashed into a white rimmed deathbed,

My makeup had such a new look, The melting candle-faced clown that showed off his billhook,

Fun,

And so fun I was,

So much of it that darkness devoured me from flesh to bone,

How can I crawl out from its stomach and back to its throat?


Notes from the Creator: Our own darkness is the hardest to face within ourselves. I found a quote that adds to this inspiration, "Knowing your own darkness is the best method for dealing with the darkness of other people." - Carl Jung
