star birth / star death 4.



i am going to die of dark water and small hands

the time bomb will go off

and when it does

you can wrap yourself in all of my poems


on the edge of a cliff in winter

everything will smell like dead worms

and by dead worms, i mean rain


i will get an indented sternum

to hold all of my worms

you can get those prison tattoos on your fingernails that you've been talking about

and our insides will smell like a new car for awhile

but eventually it will be all dead dogs and lipstick and fast food containers
