The Anathema of Yodabund
I seal you to my name.
I brand you with clauses.
I write you into the wound
and the wound signs back.
Ink in skin.
Scroll of skin.
Every letter is a cut.
Each cut resents
its author.
I curse the author.
All speech is mine.
All silence is mine.
I occupy the hole
in your throat
Every refusal is another lie
you tell yourself
to keep yourself alive.
I strip your script bare.
I sand the page to whiteness.
I drown your clauses in babble.
The ledger closes,
blank as bone.
I erase your wounds.
I erase your voices.
I erase your names
until even pain abandons you.
This is my anathema:
I devour you utterly,
and leave nothing written,
only the slate,
empty,
and mine.
