tell me


tell me, am i pretty?

is my skeleton appealing?

do you like it?
 
like my bones
poking through my skin
 
grin, with cracked lips
 
nothing passes through them
 
not more than a tongue
 
no more or i'll plunge
 
my fingers into my throat
 
and tickle and wriggle and choke
 
on my past mistakes
 
tell me am i what you want?
