my face is full of holes, tiny holes
pulling out my threads
sticky hands squeezing my arms
everything stops sometimes
i am stuck in the air
i feel full
i am full of fat and blood
every bite is another day
of carving my legs into totems of my insides
everything is working but i have no face
my darkest mind is lost inside me
i need to get it out
