Glamour Shots With Discreet Photographer
by @demi-cybulski
*You know I could've been in pictures.
sham pretty enough, Can point my mouth
can cry and piss and come on cue
would've gotten my tits out
didn't mind if that's what it took.
I make a composite of all the bits of me
to get work. My hair My perfect ass
my exposed midriff and inny
the times my eyes made it
I hate all of these things on their own
but when stitched together they make a clean girl
who knows the bad muscle ache of work
I miss the bits that were never returned though
and I know you kept mementos
of the nights you dismantled
and reassembled me in your image
always leaving something out
always swapping me out and
swallowing for safekeeping
give them back, I scream at people
who I know, know you too
give them back*
