Strong Familiar
June 12, 2015
but i want my bones to feel like water
this body, worn
but i want my veins to be hollow
i want my stomach, starved
this body, worn
warm familiar
i want it to feel like cold rot
instead of neutral when i touch
i don’t want scared of moths
i want yellowed claws
this body, worn
once i want to feel weak
why can’t i learn to starve
this body, worn
i want to feel one with the ground
but sink into soil
watery bones
this body, why worn
