    I wrote about my friends' eating disorders.



    i look at (you) look at you
    and look at the same

    face; but you don’t see the

    (beautiful)

    is whats bursting from her honey

    and the comb won’t let it go

    and bursting from his ocean

    which is dirty with wires pipes oil

    i never even noticed; she said

    the stratus of her sky



    can i have my heart-space back?

    now there’s ana mia

    tear-stained drags(hold)puffs on your

    t-r-e-c-g-i-e-t-a

    the things i didn’t see

    (but damn well could have seen)

    the vines you can’t purge or ignore

    they grow the hollows of you

    they live the crevice; the

    dark insides help me



    i will h(l)e(o)l(v)p(e) you



    let me breathe your demons,

    amo honey ocean sky

    the rise fall of your air bones

    are to be celebrated



    atrium ventricle

    in-out

    my world is still turning
