pale; broken; frail;
translucence makes me
coveted; wanted; invisible
my blood is shushed
(inside my skin is slush)
numb and you can't feel me
your hand threatens to dissolve
my only defense
i am only so alive and deep
as you sculpt me with
serenading blades
i talk
cavern open
serrated, i speak
if you were expecting me
or anything other
let this cold nothing embrace you
