i will take the clothes off my floor
and sew a blanket. i will
still sleep on the floor though.
i need the cold on my back but not
on my chest.

i am too anxious to leave the house so i wont leave.
i am forever chained to this body
and when i close my eyes i will make magic
for you. hooks through my skin
carry the weight of my world i am
chained to this body
let it float for the people. they're only
impressed because it looks like it hurts.
its blood in the nail
its the right kind of itch.
