sterile scented skin
soft but not subtle
to be pale, like bleach white hospital walls.
paper thin, self indulged
pulse running icy
fingertips stinging cold.
you smell like an operating room
and feel like the cold light after.
now scarlet deep
your pristine tundra, flowing
broken in one hundred gentle criss-cross lines
you are desecrated
stained in alizarin red
unworthy.
