red lines
strange...it's red
red water
in lines
red
all i can see is red
spurting
oozing
dripping
screaming
so red
red everywhere
i want more of it
it's killing me.

but i take a step back
and look at it.
it is art,
blood drawings
beautiful sometimes

i feel the need
to make more drawings
terrible beauty
scratches on skin

now i feel better

'thank you,
mr. art teacher,
for teaching me
real art'

i think
as i hold the scalpel
and my vision swims
to red
then black
as all the red inside me
leaks out
through the beautiful holes
i made in me

so...

...pretty...

i'm gone now.
