to-come

tattooed, inked

with the skulls of
everyone

you've ever loved - the you
& the you

& the you & the you - you don't

through a binder, pick a

door, light

pouring in from somewhere
outside, you

could make your body a door
so it appears you

(let her fill you) are made
of light. — Nick Flynn
