you camouflage my corpse in sharp, shattered glass. i blend in. make it look like i fell myself. make the stab wounds invisible. pretending i'm ending.
safety, i lack. i'm always standing on my toes. a beetle turned over on its back, convulsing in its final throes.
keep me silent and afraid. threaten my friends with a word or a blade. then parade through the streets as the kindness brigade.
a beetle turned over on its back, convulsing in its final throes. you spin your moral compass around. where it stops, nobody knows. how long underground? losing track. fresh carrion for your vultures to eat. swallow me, choke me down. i'm discouraged, to say the least.
it's hard to keep a steady pace competing for last place.
