these are
the terrifying words
the terrifying poems.
all i need is a pillow
to
shove under his arm
and he will think
i'm still there.
(and i do)
all i need is a cause
to move myself to,
to move myself away from
send me
down
the blue staircase
to breathe outside air.
a key
and wheels
and i'm gone
feeling brave
to feel i've escaped
only to return
shrunk down to size,
like a cat caught
in a rainstorm.
the fur that made me appear big
regal
when dry
gives weakness away
when wet
here it is
now
plastered close to my skinny
body
my scrawny ways,
now you see me
now you don't.
