tonight the streetlights whisper sweet baby, then the street turns black. the ghouls from yesterday dig their molars into the crown of my skull. and they bite down. i writhe with shame like cherry stems being twisted, i always reassure myself i can be broken and pretty. the sun is a latex circle, it’s last one in my pocket. i can only talk to boys when i want them to slit my neck. or is that just what lust feels like?
