Bite Marks

Lilac Bruises

My hair sheds
Lilac bruises bloom
Decorating my knees

My ribs show
Pushing softly against
The stretch of

Skin.

"You're dying. What's wrong with you?"
"So many things."

They're always older
So much wiser, prettier than me

Why do I feel pure?

Every day, you take a piece of Me
For your collection

One day, my Teeth
Will hang from your ceiling.
