pink bath.

headshakebloodache.

my brain is in my throat
and there's a pavement behind my eyes

we are briefcase tiles
an army jacket and a tightened page

all the slick spaces
between the tendrils of my brain
are pressure pumped with liquid iron
and solid mercury

there's a cover in my book
vena cava in my trachea
my brain is in my throat
and there's a pavement behind my eyes
