Crush me one more time
Thin and crisp like an autumn leaf
Step on my brittle bones
Spit on the dust left behind
Lift me up high and let me fall
Pick out all the hair on my head
Rip my nails right out of their beds
And bruise my delicate skin
Ply the teeth out of my mouth
Cut out the fleshy tongue
Wiggling around and forming words
So that I may never speak again
