CN: Trauma, bodies

take it out of your body,

pushpull that

day that

only night

 

it he never left me

pushbirth it

him

 

reverse it

 

clear the cobwebs mop the floors

I’m still in here

 

take it out of your body

your body polished parquetry

lightfoot downlit low polished brass

and silver untarnished open the door
