Beets bleed and tables have legs
and the table it ran away a bloody mess.
i need to stop singing in code
to start ringing true only
i am full of terrible things.
elbows, elbows and knee pads
can you believe that that i still need them?
can you see how hard it is?
i am full of terrible things.
my lazy shape is armed in dirty clothes
my arms are worn and scarred with beauty marks
so they can tell my lazy shape apart
from other shapes with hearts and human parts.
and there's much to be scared from
that didn't wash up til everything dried up.
i am full of terrible things
but if you love the terrible
then please be near to me. More from Laura Stevenson
