*****
forget the fuck away from me (origin stories of a safety pin girl)
coil magnetic reels back into cassettes
collect scraps flaked from yellowed glue bind
sheafs once held by rubber bands now
snapped & staples all a-rusted
static- magnetic between voices graves ghosts
so loud & sorrow-slick my blood smeared
with all that dark lilac remember
string me a necklace sing me a song decipher
me these stories how I was born to hate
pink dresses’ itched rustle & cobweb silence
by four I was lost to the basement carved
