raze this is the name
of a play you can't
remember anything about,
though you're told
you won the lead role.

you ask the woman
who wrote the script
which part she played,
failing to recognize
her as the architect
of your dialogue and
stage_directions.

she tells you
she spends most
of her time on
her back in a box,
melting ice with
the heat that
flushes her face.

you touch your tongue
to the calcified
connective tissue
that forms a flap
where your upper lip
would be if you were
flesh and phosphorus,
and feel the ink
of all your days
bleed through to
the back of this
timeworn page.
