Anthills
February 1, 2010
Anthills
Covered in a thin pink cotton
Expanded
bitten by a spider while asleep
Soft belly, peach fuzz
pictures
red bikinis
Hard
I held them up in the mirror
Next to me
Until my belly button stretched up and I saw my waist
Like a rubber band held it in
hard bone of my hip
Sharp
mouths clamp shut
Tubby Chubbs
Strawberry poptarts
Melting
icecream
small globes
White flesh
Blue worms crawl through
White flesh stretches
Silver strands cover
Expanding
Belly soft
