19. Frankenstein Science

Prodded incised injected and patched.
Multiple parts exchanged
or forged from old
matter. Grown in the dark
to bloom, mushroom by
an unsanctified grave, as befitting
a self murder, of sorts.



Parts excised sliced and stripped for reassembly, or merely trashed. An elaborate organic piecework is deftly prepared. The capon like image of a trussed animal is briefly seen, the fixings reinforced by stitch, staple and glue. Like sitting on a pin cushion, with over a hundred staples holding a trimmer rear in position. Days of growth and some decay as heavily bandaged flesh sweated and sloughed itself. Not all wounds should be tidily covered, some need to breathe the air.
