#esophagus
my throat constricts . . . and i suffocate on words that are on fire. words that are begging to be lashed at your face but lash in my esophagus instead. cutting like blades, bleeding like tears. it leaks down and burns my stomach and you laugh, not taking me seriously thinking that i wont gag the next time i think of your face. don't call me honey.

honey
I said "don't forget me", and you smiled, hollowed out my eyes, with matches for fingernails, placed them like ice cubes, in your glass of peroxide, won't you swallow it? as if it does not burn, your crooked throat, because I know you have wounds, stitched in your esophagus, from spitting fire.

Now put a lighter underneath your tongue.
