OPEN-BRAIN SURGERY

Me, I

me i can

change. me i

can curl my lashes with my

own fingernails me i can

unfurl a whole red

rose with my pink tongue me i

Can unspool like black thread

& me i

sew myself together two times as fast as one. me i

fold quiet as bodies back into the earth me i

dance and God sees me first me i

sing so the birds know how to

me i

remake my own world. me i

pull my own honey from the flowers and

me i

drain my own white milk from the blue sea

(me i) shine when the

sun is dunked in grey and forgets how to do it and

me i

flicker so

fire can too. me i

love so love knows what shade

of blood to color her heart in and so love can love me too me

i

me i me
