Organic potrait: the dutiful sub

He says it's a texture thing
and so he begins to mix my blood
and wax and spooge in a cup

I, tethered to a chair,
legs splayed and bleeding
watch while he applies our paint
to canvas, a gnarled block of wood
that glistens (my sweat is mixed
in the varnish).

He paints and I watch, (semi-conscious now;
blood loss will do that to you), me emerge-
bulbous tree sprouting from the corner of his field
my arms, branches spiraling up and outward,
red trellises coagulating beneath a frigid sun.

I smile just before everything goes black.
