02.24.18

my body is a crime scene

snaked up from behind me, a man slits my tongue

tells me god knows i sinned

tells me god made him sin

 

but there are no coroners here

the detectives mother the sidewalk

they don't dare cross over to me

they expel my lungs and call to me

they tell me to breathe

 

he's gone now

but i'm still here

i'm still here

i'm still here
