You know the star on my wrist?
Gutted.
 
The infinity symbol on the back of my neck?
Chewed.
 
The quill on my forearm?
Snapped and shattered.
 
The guy with a flower sprouting from his head?
Gouged out,
Eyeball hanging.
 
A lone petal floats into a pond of blood.
Bloop bloop.
 
The bowl of noodles – the one above my elbow?
Slurped.
Empty.
 
The dot-work on my hip?
A giant’s footprint smeared the spots together.
 
Every panel of ink on my body?
Teeth marks.
 
Every tattoo I have?
Yeah.
 
Every single tattoo.
Has been eaten.
 
Ever since I got that one?
You know?
Of
the T-Rex?
