Blood Splatters on White Walls
by Siberia

Note: An image I saw when my nose bled profusely.

---

blood splatters on livid walls
from the ceiling to the floor
across the sink and the counter
the sap spills out your nostrils
your mouth, your arms and your heart
sterile white awashed in red
like a crazed artist at work

your body lies on the ground
to rest in the crimson stream
that your dreams have long forseen
a salty-tasting chuckle
gurgles from within your throat
as you watch the bare canvas
fill with the ink of your life
