i’ve seen it all
I’ve touched the wall
I’ve felt the ball
I’ve smelt the crawl

red, in veins swarming
white, in brain forming
blue, in nails warning
catheter, in heart reforming

earth worms crawl up from my brain

Pills on kitchen benches, swimming
Fear in utero is dimming
God’s gift wishes to be slimming
