Some Disassembly Required

-she tries her best to read her own tag, twisting and turning she finally grasps the tissue-y paper and rips it from her shroud, reading silently "some disassembly required"-

Must I scream to be heard?
I do. I must. I do.
Can you not hear me
as I hold my head?
Coddling as...

if I let go

-I- might have fallen
had I not lain
Submissive
rolling to my back
Peering into the darkness
hearing the call
through this drug-induced haze
as it whispers "cut the line"

Even as the howl rattles
*F A T A L E R R o R*
*F A T A L E R R o R*

My own scarlet letter made

I follow that tear
from apex to nadir
sharply.



I lay aligned with the entablature, the stone beneath my back cold and hard, and I beg sleep to take me...but not away from the pain. It comes

Lest I forget
