ripped
raze
this
fitted_sheet
was
harvested
from
the
nile delta
soil
before
binding
a
bed
built
for
a
queen
.
what
began
as
a
small
split
in
the
sinew
of
its
unsmiling
face
is
now
an
aperture
through
which
no
light
will
pass
.
with
each
move
i
make
,
it
expands
and
grows
more
ragged
, butchered
by
the
burden
of
my
body
.
someday
soon
i'll
slide
my
whole
head
through
this
slit
and
wear
what
i
struggle
to
sleep
on
as
a
cape.
