skin.
skin taught hipbone to hipbone like the skin of a drum as my fingers play the keyboard of my ribs,
digging deep to pluck them like boomerangs from the corset of my chest. stomach like a cave whispering lies that echo in my bones.
there's a vortex in my middle
that i refuse to feed,
a blackhole that only grows.
(but it doesn't seem to know that i've forgotten how to be hungry).
the empty echos the ice in my heart and the empty in my head.
the countdown has begun.
(caged rabbit heart is dying slowly).
and i know you'll come again soon. you always do.
there is a dead songbird in my chest,
and its wings are clipped and laid to rest.

shiraz
found performing
a galivanter
amongst the curios and
cheekbone impostors
feigning bloodvows,
rife solidity;
fingertip promises in
Times New Roman.
supple wrists, o
tendoned silver thews
that sail on heated zephyrs
above the grasp;
a sortilege
of sighs and bones fore-
telling of table wine and
conversation.
