Hollow bullets shred my skin

scratch arms, legs

without warning hair is wet

matted with strange new drops

of everlasting tears


Hands grasp wrists

that break too easily

disgusted with the eternity

of plastic bags hanging from

the tree branches


I am not

you are not either

a small animal hidden

in the cave with other

living breathing dolls

We are less than


Tall blue irises smell

like you

have you ever considered

the sweet taste of white tea leaves

in the burning sun

They taste just like you
