Warnings: References to suicide

( I move in and out of sleep like I'm feverish, butterfly flashes of consciousness. Each time my eyes open I see your face swimming in a sea of hospital white. My wrists throb when I'm awake, sometimes they itch, but I can't scratch them through the second skin of gauze, my nails catch in the cotton. )

'i hate this place'
he said
punching the wall
'i fucking hate it'

his knuckles pop
softly on impact
the sheetrock giving
wallpaper crushed

he fell to the
ground crying
'i hate it
so much'

and his anger
vanishes into
the hole in the
wall

leaving him only
sadness

judge me
2.15.2007

how would you
judge me?

for my frazzled
hair and
hidden grin?

or would you
rather skin me?

dragging a knife
from breast to hip
and plucking skin
from sinew

and rifling through
my gut before
slicing my skull
with a saw

what would you
see there and
what would
you say?
