a body wrapped in sheets has

more life than an inferno;

there are endless ways

to

the root of all evil...

dendrite dendrite

spinal tension arches

create bridgework from earth

to

soul

spread your legs

touch your toes

melt away under

your wet sheets

liquid glitter skin

a

vial plugged airtight

opened, spilled, and glistening

choking on fluid

will stain the sheets
