Covered

Metalic covered by grease.

Grease covered by mint.

Mint covered by ice.

Ice covered by..

    ice covered..

ice covered by emptiness.

emptiness covered by growling.

growling covered by…

growling covered…

growling…

no more

no more metallic, no more grease,

no more mint, no more ice.

Just emptiness.

Just emptiness and growling

  • Case file

    I love it when you call me

     by my name.

    When you label me.

     

    Like a doll sitting in 

    the display. 

    Read out my description.

     

    Learn my characteristics.

  • Slack line

    I walk a fine line.

    Life and death.

    Funny and weird.

    Smart and dumb. 

    Waiting for a light breeze to blow me one way.

    Will I stay on this line forever?

    When will I get off?

  • Cookie Cutter Girl

    I’ve always been a cookie cutter girl.

    pressed into shapes I never liked.

     

    Rolled and folded into the perfect form.

    My face and body configured

    to make me look appetizing.
