Your heart, it palpitates so irregularly because it has already left you for an apocalyptic sect of late night infomercial fame.
Your remaining singular organs are fast approaching similar epiphanies--
Like your liver seeking God during inappropriate moments: uttering frantic dissections of hallowed syllables during office parties.
When these porous prophets seep sarin from ribcage slats your lungs are first to splatter their soggy masses against one another
though your kidneys are swift to follow suit; knotting together in preparation for the inevitable enlightenment.
Your brain expels from your body, poisoned and shrieking. It squirts a moist trajectory 25 centimeters long
before shriveling into two piles of dust, identical to the very last particle.

"Forgive me, child. Here before your noble and sacred eyes stands the man who crushed your bones and tore off the strips of flesh dangling from various parts of your body. Was it a frenzied inspiration of my delirious mind, was it a deep inner instinct independent of my reason, such as that of the eagle tearing at its prey, that drove me to commit this crime? And yet, as much as my victim, I suffered! Forgive me, child. Once we are freed from this transient life, I want us to be entwined for evermore, becoming but one being, my mouth fused to your mouth. But even so, my punishment will not be complete. So you will tear at me, without ever stopping, with your teeth and nails at the same time. I will adorn and embalm my body with perfumes and garlands for this expiatory holocaust; and together we shall suffer, I from being torn, you from tearing me... my mouth fused to yours. O blond-haired child, with your eyes so gentle, will you now do what I advise you? Despite yourself, I wish you to do it, and you will set my conscience at rest."

Haha, I just realized I should probably explain why I copy and pasted that here, lest it sound creepy: your post was very Lautreamontesque and I thought you'd like this quote.
Your blog is great, by the way -- I'm going to put a link to it on my blog.
Thank you for the quote! It is only creepy in the wonderful sense.
And also, thank you for linking me!
