Thinner.
December 15, 2011
Last night I slipped into a temporary death and became
Thinner.
My skeletal sisters called out to me
They screamed for they wished to be
Thinner.
Their smiles were frozen screams
Blood dripped their fingers
The wind rattled their bones
And their bellies curled in a 'C'
But they wanted
Thinner.
Their fingers curled around my throat
One sewed my mouth shut
With iron thread
They didn't want me to eat so I could be lovely
They didn't want me to eat so I could be
Thinner.
I woke up screaming
I woke up crying
I woke up tearing the nightmare from my brain
I woke up
Thinner.
