any animal

by Indigo Tempesta

any animal must beat own heart
as melt as can the skin it still
must bind to bear the blood indoors
or else with salted body floating
bled itself in distant cups

I'm not sure whether this is sad or just a statement of fact. And any animal can be a human, too. It appears to be an internal process, since if the bleeding continues outside, small pieces of the "self" are used in some way by others, therefore the being (whether animal or human) is never quite whole.
