milky bones being made
into lactose blue
as i unfold
the teeth
that formed
the smiles
of yesterday
and then some
i do not
want to ever
be
a
something
Where I'm tearing at the seams
and watching curds
form to sweetened
and condensed
as i watch you
rip her skin
apart as you
Needle Her In

This is about watching kids' faces when they're getting treated for cancer on TV and in movies and the guilt that I feel for them.
