Jealousy's Disease

Sue Ellen K.
The disease manifests from the marrow
And seeps through the calcium of the bones
Between the pores
The muscles become infected
The blood injected with the poison
Venom That emerged from the marrow
of the bone.

The toxin begins the path of
circulation
A map of scarlet and cerulean blue
created by evolution
The affliction rides on the blood cells
Racing through the highway of Life
At speeds of urgency.
Breath-taking.

Perfect.

Circulation permeates the tissues of
Life.

The eyes become plagued
And sight becomes red. Vision blurred.
Hateful.
The brain: riddled with the infirmity
The mind: rationality ceases to exist.

Jealousy is one with Her at last.

The Jealousy runs through her veins
Nourishing every cell of her living being.
Invisible Shades of viridian
Chromium oxide of green hidden among the
Underpainting
Under the thin stroke of flesh.

The toxin pulsates wildly, excitedly
As her depression slowly becomes an
Abyssmal sea of
Violet.
Black.
Hopeless Blue.

The rite of Jealousy is finished.

Jealousy has become
Her.
