the desert rendered down
the fat  
and it left
a liquefied sunrise
and pink eye

do not fall asleep before the camel breaks  
for slipped disks and scoliosis
are a beacon of yellow light

do not milk the camel from your tainted eye
instead eat the suicide
drink it as a milkshake
take it, just take it
as a drug of empathy towards me

but you lack a throat
you cannot swallow
and I cannot breathe
