Achilles

One
Squelching 
Jab 
and 
I'm immobilized. 
You 
make me gape and gush; 
slice me open and 
unveil soft, squishy secrets. 

The pain is extraordinary; 
a sweet release 
as if I had been eager to sustain you. 

You promise a violent extraction 
to exceed this brutal joining. 
Still, 
I am quite unable 
to pluck or pry you out; 
to peer past blackening blood 
and find its cause.
