vermilion
I wrap myself around your waist
so when you fall I feel it too.
You’re cold and take my jacket,
then I give you all my clothes.
There’s a hole that’s in my stomach
you’ve dug but won’t refill.
So I scrub away the blood and dirt
I scratch at skin and bone.
My flesh has gotten lighter now.
Let me float away.
