Embalmed in radiation
light-years slap against my thighs
Like clouds seen from telescopes.
Fallen ash of ethanol,
stings against my purple rings
that shadow my eyes like addiction,
as the squint around the top of my arms.
I wish I wish I wish upon
I wish I could be thin again,
I wish I wish I wish upon
I wish I could be thin again.
Plugs and Sockets drag across the pillow
Burning flames in my dreams.
Cigarette bulimia
blows smoke from the throat
and startles the dead as she bursts at the seams.
Steal her engine
Trap all her glow
shes the ship in the bottle
How did she fit in those clothes?
A filmy cover
cellophanes my hipbones in acres of butter.
A body trapped beneath the oily moon surface.
As I walk my knees strain
and my brain pulls my socks up until they cover my eyes
so I hide from the world in a woolen womb,
the comfort of warm food is a bitter crime.
I wish I wish I wish upon
I wish I could be thin again
I wish I wish I wish upon
I wish I could be thin again
But the star has lost its shine
its bones are faded and its lost its light
The stardust was pickled
her body folded in jars
a weighing scales relapse,
a crushed fallen star.
