Haruspex from Hidden Histories by Arroyo Deathmatch

Haruspex

I have made incisions from stomach to sternum,
severed living heads,
I have watched blood drip from eyes,
I have broken necks.
I have shot lead into bodies,
seen torn and ragged flesh,
felt both cold and warm blood on my hands,
and wondered if I was next.
I have exposed sacks of organs,
cut open stomachs to see inside,
I have taken so many and I still don’t,
know what it means to be alive.

So you who use the logic a corporation uses,
to decide what commercials to run,
think you can make assertions,
based on sex or based on blood.
I have lived this life before you,
this life I am inside,
and if you try to tell me who I am,
I will stop you every time.

The color my skin,
the genitals I was born with,
the jobs my parents held.
If you try to tell me who I am,
I will stop you every time.
