raze
did
i
blister
then
?
i
remember
heat
and
discomfort.
not
skin
sloughing
off
of
flushed
shoulder
blades
and
charred
cheeks
.
i
guard
against
that
now
.
there's
a
blue
and
white
bottle
in
the
bathroom
that
keeps
me
looking
like
a
vampire_with_a_sweet_tooth
,
when
the
truth
is
i
see
more
sun
than
almost
everyone
i
know
.
not
that
i
know
many
people
anymore
.
but
i
know
some
.
the
water
-resistant salve carries
the
scent
of
the
mint-flavoured fluoride
i
use
to
get
my
teeth
clean
before_and_after
whatever
damage
the
day
sees
fit
to
deliver.
so
i
become
what
i've
done
to
myself
.
what's
been
done
to
me
.
then
i
wash
off
the
stink
of
living
and
make
myself
dirty
again
.
