Eat. A punishment to the waist. Reflections manipulate, to edit what is mine. Stripped out another me, I'm sure I ate, the biggest grain I could find. Pray. That I will not expand. If the grain touches water, material triplicates, Where will I land? I'm sure I prayed, myself I would not slaughter. Sleep. In tiny winks through night. Sometimes I wake to rib-cage, sharply inhale, as deeply as I  might. I'm sure I slept, On my self directed stage. Speak. Through thin bitten lips. A voice growing weak, mouth internally, small organs it rips. I'm sure I spoke, my box though mild and meek.

There is no brighter light than that in which you let yourself follow.
