Digestible

I want to make myself digestible

for others to take dainty bites

and not choke

on the heavy weight

of me

I want to stop taking up so much space.

I want to wither away

into nothingness

into nobody

into safety

I want to be small enough to go unnoticed.

I want the oppressive summer heat

to be thicker than me,

my folds & my creases,

where flesh pools

to taunt me

I want to feel lighter than my thoughts.
