The Stain

THE STAIN

Black is my stain

Clearing a white empty room

I spread like grape jelly

Against the artless walls

Until seeds or droplets begin to explode

Through the cracks of a grey windowsill

I leak my dark

You can see it

Trickling down the bustling outside

Slowly dripping and reaching

Escaping into the realness of solid ground

After infesting the normality

Of this white everyday room

Colorless in depth

Plastic in touch

After sickening it with my murky lava

The heat penetrating, pressuring, challenging

My wearied blob meanders towards a door

Slipping through slits of its clear glass

I've had enough of my pleasure

I've transformed everything and everyone

To as far as they can be

I don't turn back

I suck then spit out all of it

There's better fruit

Better smells, better eyes out there

So I burst out, I burst, burst

I am free

Until the stain doesn't fade away

Until the stain serves its purpose,

Penetrates my love

And decides to stay
