Circus human

So, you want to write words that move,
scrawl sound upon the stratosphere,
and stop the earth from dimming in its fumes?
So, dance circus human, dance.
Let art be the boat that you drown in.
Make art that tears muscles and breaks bones,
stitch syntax into skin and graffiti your mind
with stolen syllables and
a masterclass of madness.
Dance so bone shoots from socket,
But shatter nicely girl.
Make a nice sound, a nice shape, a nice story. 
Break and break again. 
Stretch viscera from pole to pole,
burst life from caged bone and teach us to cry. 

Break circus human, break.
Break nicely.
Break utterly.
