Porte, Nils Udo, 1980

okay so as much as i'd love to be defiled and maimed and smashed into gory bits beyond all recognition, there's something so passionate and intimate about becoming someone's fucked up art project.

each cut, each slash into my cold flesh has a deeper symbolic meaning to it– every bruise perfectly placed to give color and depth where it's needed. my legs are barely attached to my torso, hanging on by stringy veins and sinew as they dangle helplessly underneath my corpse.

i want an artist to take their time with me, to make me into the ultimate gruesome statue; with so much care and thought into their every marking, disfiguring me into something horrifying, yet ethereal all the same.

and though i might rot, i want it to mean something. and just knowing that someone saw fit to use my body in such a meaningful way is more than i could ever ask for.

i want to become somebody's magnum opus.
