a rat burrows through my flesh, into my stomach, hiding next to my liver. they stitch me back up, send me home with a bottle of placebos. home alone, deep into the night, i feel him crawling and scratching around, rearranging things, misplacing my bones and lungs in the process. i can't exist without you.
