i spread myself thin so fingers of light

can go through quietly
a heavenly disconnect /

a land of cornfield and spirits

i've been looking for someone to blame, but you're too easy. you’re

too much gone when you laugh
i pull it out of my chest, warbled
and dripping like an infant
you move around me / fists red with the shape of my mouth
there's nothing you can hurt me with that i don't already know.

please let me have this like all the other things that i own
dirty and fought over and surrogate for a place i can't quite recall
where everything is warmer /

where you can say my name.
