spindled limbs / untitled 91

By nlmacnamara

spindled limbs and candied swans

matchbox weighed in heavy tons

pull from end to end

holy ghost and his motive for sin

it is as if i were ten feet tall

and you were a wasp on a tree

i am only free

you brought the colossus of being

torn made and seething

let me carve at your skin

and hold your fragile teeth

only doses of the last goodbye

encrypt my lungs like steam

keep these strands like confetti

scars on my skin like thorns
