Spetznaz forces sabotage
An emotional climate was manifesting inside Abism's appearance.
She sat stagnating in her wicker chair squeaking to the
rhythm of her husbands protest. She sensed his disparity
in the
need to shower. But he really spurned in these types
of manners.
Green, stringy hair grooms her rotting fingernails. Abism
strangles the knots playing in her hair.
"
Your ankles are skinny my dear wife," he says to her.
"
So is your eyesight my living bore," she says to him.
The loathe of her smile commands charisma in her posture.
She scratches her toenails against the bottom of
the stainless steel tub as her legs sprawl inside.
Deteriorating bare
feet
frolic playfully, splashing blood through her toenails.
In the corner of an American town, small enough
to ignore with imposition in later stages.
"
Cradle me a fountain soda my living bore," she says
to him.
Chuckling under her breath she licks her fingertips
soaked in blood.
"
No syrup to sprinkle on top of your carbonation," he
says to her.
Contaminated surroundings and worthless water
with yellow spirals from the toilet. Mildew
covers blue
tiles on
the abandoned
restaurant's kitchen floor, no extra people
ordering from ancient menus.
The sun was barely noticeable through orange
fallout devouring the morning. Their
lair was obfuscating...
lacerated: now
they could see the back of each sun without
turning their heads.
Abism slowly stirs her buttermilk with
one finger suspended from her hand.
"
Another poisonous day my living bore. It would be nice if you
would get out and scavenge some more bullets," she says
to him.
"
Water and clean food my dear wife, not blood," he says
to her.
"
Yes in a perfect world that would be sunny. But not here," she
says to him.
Unknown to Abism and her husband,
infiltration of the Red Army
was just over hills.
Armed in gas masks
and
bullets:
stamping
the new number in the West land.
Solders of the East geared with
genocide and bumble bees eating
petals spreading
pollen throughout the air.
Waking in flaming
sweat wrapped in pink insulation
now etched in glass with no
showers, Abism
slowly
slides off
the Formica
counter
down in
the hidden cellar beneath the
register. She wanders to her
face in the
bathroom mirror
and lights
a
candle while
roaches
scamper like hot tap water
splashing infected poison ivy spots. Above
the broken toilet,
crossed with
spray paint
is Abisms
proverb: "I am the question that cannot be answered."
Days
later, and many worries gone,
memories spoke to Abism. She was running in her mind all
possibilities of connections.
Muttering words have no meaning.
Wires leading to all personalities with
no editor, sort of an eerie
sight. No dams to release certain information at any certain
time. Damage to her brain from
overloaded thoughts always
growing. Extract self-pity and no way to prepare
for feeling.
Thrusting at the ankles she
comes out of the cellar searching
for
her husband
like
a Roman
Candle combing
its hair
with sparks. The bottom of
patriotic depression pushes
substance,
castrated
from the soil. Torture on
the misfit plains while preacher
man carries
spurious coverings,
Vladimir’s vicious
result. Bullet hole in the
forehead, her husband's naked
body lay in
the stainless tub. Growing
fungus on the floor of the
abandoned restaurant home,
like prophetic centripetal
force anchoring
the way through time.
Standing in the doorway as
thoughts of footsteps with
marching armies
and drum
taps, Abism
allows seclusion
to bristle
inside her blood as a matchless
sarcasm falls drain. Out
behind the
fallen neon sign is waste
grounds of black smoke
and rock piles.
"
Your ankles are skinny my living bore," she says to
him.
