plate tectonics (of pulling yourself apart)
i am all
the ridges
of your knuckles
&
the skin that splits
in two like a fault line
[ this is
survival
of the
sickest ]
a body of contour lines,
divergent boundaries -
can't you keep your bones
buried in the backyard no one wants
to see them
i am post-synaptic,
migraine-mouthed
[ you start to rot - ]
all buzzing bones
& cavity fillings
(no) bodies, (no) mortuaries
each vertebra a crypt,
each rib a headsman
