Rip-Rip-Rip; We Create

Our Creation

Here, Feel My Arm.

Rip, rip and rip

Until there's nothing there
Close your eyes
Place your hand here, on my arm
Do you feel that?
Feel my hair raised

Rip, rip and rip,
Until there's nothing there
Goosebumps freckle my arms.

Rip, rip and rip until there's nothing there
My neck muscles tighten.

-Cringe-
It must be those boys
Sandy hair falling in their eyes
Full of gleaming innocence



Rip, rip and rip,
Until there's nothing there.
Moist tongues peeking out.
Foreheads creased in concentration; they look about for inspiration.
My stomach tightens,
My torso forced forward,
Reject, reject, eject.
My strength is gone, I'm depleted.



Rip, rip and rip,
Until howls leave them gasping
I reach- wrap my fingers about your wrist
Here- feel this
Do you feel it? Goosebumps on my skin.
Hush- close your eyes-
Do you hear it?


Rip, rip and rip
Whose cries do we hear?
My neck muscles tighten

It's those boys
Kneeling over in concentration
Staring down in gleaming glory
At the growth of a molted puddle
Do you see it?

Open your eyes
Feathers drinking, turning, screaming of shadows
Wings scattered around them
Wings accounting for countless howls
Saturated darkness peeking through, dripping everywhere.

Rip, rip and rip
Until there's nothing there,
No more fight.
No more flight.
Rip, rip and rip
Until there's nothing there

Silence
Hush- do you hear it?
Cringe.
Reject, reject, eject.



Rip, rip and rip
Do you hear them howl?
It's those boys…gleaming cheeks; tears fall
With fists to eyes
For they have died.
