the candle threw its soft light
and curvaceous flicker across the bathrooms interior shying away from the
evening shadows crawling on the windowpane
it distracted itself spent some time watching itself in the tall mirror
over the sink
he laid in a hot bath of Epsom
salts and lavender
healing
distracted weary pain-fatigued he ran his eyes on the composite
panel leering before him pale ivory silver
spigot
spigot
and faucet phallic
the overflow a suspicious disc
eyeing him a single screwhead the overflow to spigot to faucet
spigot
to faucet to
showerhead
underwater
the plugged drain a rubber stopper with
a circular metal tassel
the alignment
the drain to the
overflow to the spigot to the faucet to the showerheard vertebrae
above them a dangling appleseed body a curious daddylonglegs squealing Look! No hands!
his skull rested up comfortably against the curved composite tub
underwater pale blue with salt
his vertebrae aligned perfectly with the drain the glaring overflow phallic
spigot an faucet the spiral-spray showerhead anup to appleseed
odd growing odder he troubled his imagination to
let go let go of the queer connectivity he felt tugging felt between himself
and this manufactured this applied utility and fixtureLet go but it was digging its dark obsession Anwhynot!
wasnt he a cyborg his shoulder fake hanging together a titanium glenoid
sphere anchored with a long long stem wormed nearly to his elbow inside his humerus(humorous)
an a simple plastic socket obsessing
it saw him lashed nofused the man fused to the tub by his vertebrae
aligned with the subtle plumbed vertebrae above the pale blue water
he troubled it again
sensing something
the candle flickered violentlySOMETHING! at the glass there at the windowSOMETHING!
panicked
wanting wanting in to come insideDont you see itll smash the glass!
the candlelight throbbed
throbbed
he tried to respond he tried he
tried to sit up
appleseed went bugeyed sensing the erratic vibes the warm candlelight
the long figure
it
dropped a meter some centimeters to get a better angle aware very wary of their
struggle
an trying to sit up trying
he caused a perceptible swell a dysfunctional tremor
an trying to sit up trying
he caused a perceptible swell a dysfunctional tremor
the imaginative obsession interrupted
with a sighed its fusion shaken
it
wasnt strong enough
stitches
stitches
they
could bind horsehide
but the obsession recognised that the stitches or hide would fail
his writhing he wouldnt subside
the water whispered it slipped
the candle incited himAt the
glass! At the glass!
the irked obsession the man staid him fixed to the composition the two
one a delicious alignment
he pulled his jaw it moved back his
skull came up slightly
C1groped C2was alert C3sleepy C4dreaming Cs5 6 7
an electric nod to T1 through 12 though thicker duller but coming to their senses L1 2 3 4 5sacrum my aching sacroiliac
oh coccyx its tail directly across from the start of his cock from his body and even it now becoming aware slowly looking around sush ssush a lazy swaying trunk

oh coccyx its tail directly across from the start of his cock from his body and even it now becoming aware slowly looking around sush ssush a lazy swaying trunk
at the glass the shadows stopped and peered
the long figure foreshortening
appleseed saw
it
beat its obsession it didnt
look comfortable
appleseed climbed its repelling line
the water fell from him at once a
suspended torrent like clothing dropped
and rocked and slopped onto the tiled floor
the candle grabbed her skirt her face flushed by fearher flame oranger
and in the
mirror behind her he saw himself adhesions
still clutching at him thinning and thinning thinner and broke(appleseed was impressed) his eyes were large fixed on themselves in the
mirror and in them ran his obsession snorting
snuffing like a pig for truffles
denied
the shadows at the glass fell
away
the candle didnt flicker even his quickened breath above didnt
influence her her calm was like lead
he took his eyes from the glass
and looking down past the hard candlelight he saw the fine mess and slop at his
heels the water still roiling in the tub the hole that had been when he stood
filled the holes where his pain was his skin cooling were returning
he was slowly growing stiff
different adhesions
inside
tamed by their confines
confined
the soft light and curvaceous
flicker roused him
lazily he wrapped a towel around his
hips
reverie
reverie like honeydrip like dancing
candlelight
obsession quelled
