To dissect a poet
Is to open his pages and read
Look at his vital organs
How did life make him bleed?
My autopsy will reveal emotionally,
physically, ironically
Shut the book and know
This is how I read
Scribbled out, crossed out, left out
This is my autopsy
In pencil and in ink
I've bleed every word I write
