1.
i was a nameless face hopscotch inside of mary janes elbows at my rib cage pulling prodding for my bones to break i stumbled into pounding fists carving homes of violence i watched you embrace it stumble back in silence wanted to learn your name introduce yourself again wrap you in light till you are seen you stain the glass and and break me all year i held my breath knocked at the aching in my chest collective sigh felt like shit we are not permanent
2.
my body has let drafts in since they built it they can't fix it so i leak from my arms and my legs draw the curtains so the neighbors don't notice tried to move out last year left no note i'm still here
3.
the air is dead around me held in my stale breathing my lungs feel the shaking from trees falling i didn't want you to know this i thought you might not notice the shaking of my fist but stems snap in my fingers and i'm alone in this but at least it's cathartic
4.
lying in the snow frost bite shoved down my throat choking me but at least i'm alone i watch wolves bite the ones they love try to see who is strong i try to stop them then they howl and i'm the monster
5.
there's a lighthouse in my blood reaching out to where my veins are casting light on all my scars until a boat covers them up with a wake i'm awake set me loose in your folly i am real with my blood still inside of me let the dusk work it's words inside my teeth until i'm empty let the moon swallow clouds inside of me until I'm empty what parts of me are worth keeping once i'm buried i just want a family that would burn me
6.
if i squint enough all i see is the ground and i can convince myself these hiking shoes are where they should be and no one else is around and im happy cheers to me euthanasia cheers to me and to the fact that there is dirt here its covered by dead leaves as a way of saying no its alright, go to sleep. fear is merely the peak on a foot bridge. the chlorine will soon leave your eyes and like a blink into sleep a hurdle will come in a fog of reclamation everything you see will be gone and youll be insulated and warm (and your toes wont matter and your bark will be smooth and ill trust you) in a subway during a storm a greenhouse for a farm recuperation away from harm
7.
when will the time come that i change my name address the insects still living through concrete no woman deserves an infertile palisade no man can arrest my mane if you stay where you were then ill stay stagnant for my life and the water was too white to tell you who you were
8.
the backbone of my life left my spine so did the antlers in the leaves that i lie on take the pebbles from beneath my feet, now they're yours feed them to my relocated teeth high-five the night that carried you here i was too scared of the ship to leave the pier on it i found a pair of glasses in the sand, think they're yours beat a silk drum in the city, show them whos boss from my window in the city i am an ancient lighthouse scaffolding in the cold put here by desperate parents culturally, historically marking me with the blood of the places i came from ill take the dirt thats staining my feet I'm here too if i can find you scratching at my ribs i beg the air to pass through i dirge for the flower i resent you
9.
pitch a tent with my sad skin and an endless body that i dont know that only makes a friend when it goes outside and sundries id like for you to shave your face right next next to mine i want to help you learn that dreams arent tired id like to see a campfire take up half my sight i want to help you go outside sometimes cradle the fork that feeds you food only see a hand when it makes a move when the tent opens up and sews my wounds when the tired sleepless girl can find a living room its myself that takes the time to mine through its chest for an half life its for this cradle with feet ive been crawling
10.
i grew up with a cowboy he was tall with plastic arms i was too scared to toss him off the house i grew up with this kind of fear i grew up with a helmet made of gold and a plastic sword. one brave move away from coming clean about the number id still like to bash if given the chance ill run away a caged cathedral at least a barn between two trees fill the fireplace with leaves blow clouds the smoke the girl out what do I expect from the house ive moved out from the bones that changed the breeze for me are now rattling at my feet
