raze
a
new
shirt
came
in
the
mail
yesterday
,
its
synthetic
skin
dyed
the
same
shade
of
red
as
this
.
today
i
stand
staring
at
my
chest
and
wait
for
words
to
arrive
.
if
i'm
ever
not
here
anymore
,
it
probably
means
one
of
the
planes
that
flies
so
low
i
can
almost
feel
it
breathing
has
made
good
on
the
threat
it's
too
stubborn
to
speak
,
and
i'm
as
dead
as
the
hope
i
had
before
disaster
sank
its
meat
hooks
into
me
and
dampened
my
desire
to
see
.
in
the
meantime
(
the
cruelest
time
i
think
i've
known
),
this
is
the
colour
i
clothe
myself
in
.
i'll
undress
to
confess
all
my
favourite
sins
.
