clip my eyelids together with your stapled whispers. I want you to erase my lips and redraw them with waxy red pen. Make dents in my neck; pour salt water and bask in the warmth of my pain. If I told you that those scars beneath my chin were mountains; you'd imagine them as such. Then you'd try to ascend those frosty peaks. And when I exhale; avalanche, the snow, crushing like a cage of hands, pushing you down. You'd try to gasp, and then your throat would fade and you'd disappear.
