My roommate did a juice cleanse He looked and felt so good So I did the same. Chugged nothing but holy water for a week. Left the water in the beam of the newmoon. Tried to flush the bad out of me. I asked my tired liver to do more. Tried fire. Tried sage. Tried charcoal. Tried swallowing stones in hopes they’d grind up what I couldn’t get rid of. Tried pulling my teeth out So my bite marks couldn’t be traced back to me I wrote I WASNT HERE in hopes even id believe it but these are the hands that hit and smothered and signed these are the lips that cut and lied there was nothing to clean but my body and even then I sometimes like the way I smell without soap I am re learning faith in my own fingers Leaps of it through my wrecked knees Trust falls into myself Chug chug chug. Drown drown drown. the good and the bad mixed into a dark chocolate batter tonight I eat the whole cake
