another child

my palms pulled     the color of plums

from the friction     touching taut sheets

tears tore my mouth     open onto eyelet

consciousness tried     to pretend I held control

holding a hand     behind my head

shaped like a gun     empty and aimed at nothing

yes I wave hello     to the beckoning black

think of the smooth sounds     sliding in would yield

here I hit     myself into objects that eat

my noise     like the new bedding

but it burns     its pattern into me

you do not care     and I cannot

tell you what     you do not want

you set me swinging     harder to see

the imprints     I leave after impact
