Feed me, jealously, plaster me languid
shed the shine from my milky tired eyes
keep me bed-ridden, terrified, dead inside
fold this weight, bank it upon me
sugar-coated distraction, elated and relaxing
keeps mocking eyes on me ever so lasting
sun shines within me, my eyes like blinds
keep it from pouring out
keep me from moving about
lax and taut, a butterfly knot
keep me bathing in obscurity
certainly shelved in uncertainty
Christening the cake, I shovel down in tears’ wake
beaching the sandy whale
laughing as if I had a tail
Feed me, condolence
riddle me in tangles
teach me to be able
