My Monster
Freshly dug by torchlight
From the stale stale ground
Each part of you each night
Stitched and placed and bound.
On my cold cold table
Lies what won’t rest in peace
The pieces that I cradled
Form some new dis-ease.
Bolts and volts and off-key notes
Raise you up to Life
My operating theatre groans
As you sit Bolt upright.
