etiolation

what is it when she doesn't look at you with eagerness and delight where's the joy

it was there now it's gone

conjugate it find what's missing I you he she it especially We

you can boil a frog

and it won't notice

if it takes long enough

you can also freeze it it will be just as dead it takes the same amount of time

erupt disrupt do I have an unrupt

tenderness is easier to recall than bitterness

but you have to want it

Flip another page, and organs, fabulous coloring-book shapes, were revealed. You could flip, through tissue and tendon, until only bone was left. It was putrescence without the baggage of rot.
