Unwanted, he pushes me out of myself. His voice becomes mine, my face becomes his My skin wrinkles and spots to match his age, I am going empty, as his afterlife sucks life from me. It is all that I can do to cut myself free of him with a scissor's blade, or utility knife. But I do cut through our tangled selves And when they find me I lie alone, bleeding. Freedom brings Halcion but no celebration-- Dim lights and bathrooms without doors, If I am good I can have juice that's kept behind the desk. If I am not, they will let Silvia lick my toes.
