with the fire that you started in me


said more with my hands than i've ever, ever said with my voice, perched on the edge of a couch, pushing down and pressing something solid. jumper falling off my shoulder. 

(finger guns) - 'ah ha.'

'this is what everyone was talking about, when they talk about ____, when they talk about _______, this is actually what they meant. none of that shit i felt before - i had no idea i had i had so much to feel.'

pause, 
'how do people do it?' shuffle further undercover,

'maybe there's an untapped resource - maybe there's a reservoir.'

(and i've shed my skin again, 
i pinch it between my fingers and it dissolves, 
i wake up in the morning
 and it's a perfect imprint on my sheets. 
transparent membrane around my eyes 
red raw and peeling,

(i take a blade, 
and press it,
and run it 
against my legs, and my arms
certainly not for myself,
not for anyone)
