feed me a rat and I will tell you what broken floors taste like, what tear-stained bedsheets taste like, what the bones and crashing waves between your fingers and under your skin smells like, a gossamer bloom of dandelions between your ribs taste like, ribs that crush and stick out of the corners of your skin as if in a futile attempt to escape the clutches of your own body in desperation— feed me a rat and I will tell you what the deepest parts of the world holds and how beautiful rotten homes can be when we stop picking on the wood and love the ones who shed their sweat and tears and blood silently.
