5-21::9-1

do you smell the
scorching of the gash
cigarette stain shaped the cuts
--leaves jagged burns
along the edges of your mouth
holes
just large enough for
your soul to leak and
escape the capsule of your
blanket skin


you are empty again

are you crying?

stop


cauterize + clean
cavity and crater of
a 12 year old pain
