who stole the universes from my heart?
I have resurrected myself–

if I have to
I will break open your bones
and drink the starlight from your marrow
to brighten the black-hearted bitterness
you’ve left within me, and
you will dream
of the scars on my hips,
you will wake
screaming in the darkness,
mouth caked in blood.

I have eaten the thorns
wrapped around my hands, kissed
the rotten fruit
left at my door.

I will become holy again.
