#1 perceptions from the bathroom floor

[neuropedia]

chocolate coated sin, a topical antiseptic
dabbed by the Madonna, a motherly nurse with a painted blush;
to save the esophagus and the soul's irresolute wounds
that gaped and spilled a vermilion expose;
too gruesome to be viewed by the virgin eyes of love,
the mother, or the boys who begged admittance
inside her body, her soul

and so turned sick from echewant prescription,
she dragged herself before her altar;
her hands that had committed both apathy and amity
plunged inside scrapping the skin against the heart,
to purge herself of her sins, and her soul
