one big sigh
one big cough
one big crouch and crawl and one big
swipe.
slice
scratch
cut
glass.
this is a list of things you gave me:
1 pocket knife and
1 more sharp
countless necklaces
countless rings
from your previous girl
from your previous baby
from your previous
pale.
a million grains of salt
and a few pages of smeared mascara
and one or two of smeared blood
that i pretended was yours
just because i wanted you
to swipe
slice
scratch
cut
glass.
