I.
To be seven years old and unafraid
I was crying to stop it all.
The sensation
The falling
The cold, round, blue-black space
And the turning world.
I was born to eat flowers.
I said to myself,
Some flowers bloom and die in your mouth.
I did not like it.
I don't want to talk.
To become a bad thing,
A paroxysm of rage.
Murder wet against my bosom
Coming, Coming, Coming.
II.
You were too young when they put dirt in your virgin body and unfortunately no one ever told you to stop eating worms.
