She drags the pen across the page
Back, forth
Back and forth
Ink begins to pour from the page

Seeping out through lacerated pores where the pen




was dragged.
It sticks- adhesive- to her skin, and melts into her,


tattooing patterns across her hands, and draining into her arms,


Shattered fragments from the page

Stamped- stagnant, dead- onto her living skin-



emulating life.
Feeding.
She is

decrepit, decaying, desiccated skin


torn up by the jagged ink- stained steel,
Yet the ink persists-




drip, drop, trickling off the page,


puncturing the ripped flesh-



burning the remaining skin

Causing it to blister and swell- adding red to the





pattern.

Fragments of text peel white and fall-




dust to the ground.


The arm now fire- red, black, and blue blend-


blurring brown



She is





becoming broken



Broken by the pattern she bears.
