Kier

And spent 2003
missing virginity
crying in Austin’s arms
to Kevin’s alarm
interlocking healing limbs
new pseudonyms
sleepwalking and sicknessing
self-witnessing
To be held
just like a kitchen knife, Kier
to unveil and split new seams
Things are hatching
And opening up
Newborn muscles crisp like leaves
To be held
just like a kitchen knife, Kier
To unveil and split new seams
Things are hatching
Open up
Black hole believes
Comes back to me
My closest friends
The living dead
Drumlessly march over me
Lawlessly going home
