Raindrops fall directly into your eyes.

I hold a beating heart.

Wind crashes against your skin; you stagger like a newborn animal.

The sun crouches in your hair.

My intestines are tangled with yours.

Splinters enter the undersides of your toenails. Blood spurts rhythmically, and I want to dance.

Everything is outside of you.

Everything is closer to you.

Your mother chokes back a cry- I’m eating your brain.
