Crushed animal bones
Pulverizing teeth into powder to snort
Diamonds and emeralds glued to you
Your face disgusts me

Anorexic ****
My brain threw up today’s thoughts
You can’t call me bulimic
I’m way past that

Tough jaw
Raw eyes
Dry lips
****** nose

A tea bag of ungulate organs
The water is crimson
Burgundy hues look like an oil spill
It tastes like hate

Skin the cat
Hang it like a flag
Tie your shoes together
Don’t fall and scrape your knees

Tough jaw
Raw eyes
Dry lips
****** nose

Velvet puppies
Smiley and slobbery
Hair like clouds
Make me feel happy

Melancholic pills
The dogs are dead
Fur smeared on the wall
Black tar on their snouts

Tough jaw
Raw eyes
Dry lips
****** nose

My diet of dirt
Feasting on the flowers
Petals ache like my stomach
I get lost in the fields

Popping balloons with a child
Poking their arms with needles
Red rivers flow out
They stare in awe and terror

Tough jaw
Raw eyes
Dry lips
****** nose

My vocal cords are shredded
Torn out of my system
I want to whisper, “I love you”
But you only hear me scream

I taste something new
It hurts my tongue
I wonder what it is
Crushed animal bones
