EVERY HOLE IS BROKEN

You inserted small
bugs into my body
like it was just another
machine
until you lost
and I lost.

You just moved on
to the next slot
and didn't seem to care
that my slot had
stopped working.

Screaming on the other side
of a fallen down mirror.
Imprisoned inside my own
twisted cells. Gagging out
bloody coins until drained.
