raze
i
watch
your
brown
marbled
body
move
above
my
bed
.
you
won't
find
anything
in
here
worth
eating
.
something
tells
me
you
already
know
.
you
wander
into
a
small
pocket
of
something
left
behind
by
a
spider
that
was
probably
dust
before
you
hatched,
and
the
silk
straightjacket
traps
you
where
the
ceiling
meets
the
wall
.
you
work
your
way
out
,
but
the
snare
won't
surrender
its
grip
on
your
sixth scrambling leg.
you
go
on
walking
, slower
than
before
but
too
stubborn
to
stop
.
you
drag
the
unwanted
cargo
behind
you
.
try
to
shake
it
off
with
every
step
you
take
.
when
that
won't
work
,
you
fly
onto
the
face
of
a
floor
lamp.
you
use
the
crooked
shade
that
softens
the
light
to
pry
loose
what
painted plasterboard
didn't
want
to
take
from
you
.
you
deserve
a
better
name
than
the
smell
that
seeps
out
of
the
holes
in
your
stomach
when
you're
threatened.
you're
not
a
bug
.
you're
a
metaphor
for
my
whole
life
.
