Come and Change My Body

Come and change my body

Come and take the dim white breath from my lungs

You can break me open

I don't really care about anything at all

See these bones entangled

What am I and what do I become?

All at once, there's nothing in the middle

Holding up the sum

Come and trace my likeness

Mark my words with the black smeared touch from your work

As if in some contending form of progress

As if in some kind of war

Come and drink my heartache

Draw a knife across that scarlet seal

Take a sip, now break the cup you drank from

Underneath your heel
