With the frailty of a butterfly Books for warmth, fading out like old photographs Antique white skin Brassy bloodied cheeks A swarm of dragonflies laces my face Ancestry nightfall, ghosts of the drowned Faded gnarled patchwork, eating away my  mind Limbs of the tree growing out of me Divided from everyone else Inside the pinwheel blindfolded    Wading through hours and days A slave to this disease It's the only one that I breathe

Antiqued Disease
With the frailty of a butterfly Books for warmth, fading out like old photographs Antique white skin Brassy bloodied cheeks A swarm of dragonflies laces my face Ancestry nightfall, ghosts of the drowned Faded gnarled patchwork, eating away my  mind Limbs of the tree growing out of me Divided from everyone else Inside the pinwheel blindfolded    Wading through hours and days A slave to this disease It's the only one that I breathe
