Description
Crack me.
Crack open my bones until my fiery soul splatters along the cracked windowpanes.
Stare at me until I cool and become stone.
Chew on the splinters.
Pick your teeth with the hardened shreds of my skin.
The burned shreds you took home that night,
When you told me that this wasn't a journey,
It was an evacuation.
Snap my neck,
So that we can prostrate ourselves to the stabbing crack that echoes through the night,
Like drug dealers writhing on cracked floorboards,
Strung out on the crack demons that only we can see.
Rip out my joints. Throw the balls of my feet out the window.
Grab me by the collar and throttle my throat so hard I can never speak again,
So that my screams are just crackles,
So hard that all my excuses burn to ash.
Put me in the hospital.
And when I try to take my first step,
Crack five whips across the back of my knees,
Tattoo thin red snakes into my skin.
One for each word, each syllable, in Who the fuck are you?
