crOwl my eyes are coffee beans
crush and grind them so i can wake up
lest i fall asleep when you are talking

my nose is a bird's beak full of worms
i smell
i stink like the earth if rain was sweat

my ears are plugged with music
tired songs with words i know by aching heart
they have their way

my mouth is full of menacing bacteria
eating my bone
i'm finally trying to stop it
like a low pressure hose on a raging fire

my hands are bee stung
my elbow is a rusty pipe
my knee is threadbare
my body is barbed wire twisted
