Where have I gone?
I am lost
in this skin
my limbs
foreign like God
to atheists.
Mold has sprouted
in all the bullet holes
that spontaneously
bleed
Somebody forgot to patch them.
My thoughts are blizzards
in July
in a melting brain
memories are tsunami waves
and I never learned how
to swim.
My arms breathe
like bulldozers
my back creaks
like Grandma’s rocking chair
my knees croak like dying frogs
and my lips
they keep consuming
too much.
I lost me
in this apparatus
they call
my body.
Where have I gone?
