Mould Print

 

mould print.

dabbing off the pools

like hot grease dripping,

tasteless,thick,fattening.

imagine drowning in it;

muggy,

slow, 

translucent stain on kitchen paper,

coating your mouth

feel the top of it

toungue tasting.

         the stiffness

hardening as the room cools

as your body cools

from liquid to malliable wall

lipid to solid

that pale hue forming

as it keeps cooling-

stiff and cooling on your stiff tongue

you were found

        drowned

the excess will be dabbed,

skin spongy, pink, porous.

pale and resting.
