the cold morning airwhen I wake up at dawn
I will feel empty and cleannothing left inside me
wrenched out by the nightthe cold morning air
that inhales my ribcage and floats my hair when I look out my window
being clear and cold
and emptyfrost on the grass
quietly entering through my window
i am the only one awakenobody else can see
I feel my bones against my shirt
It's grey and cottton madethis is my purest form
clear and cold and emptyremembering a faraway god I do my praising
my mother is a religious person
she sacrifices memy father is an atheist
he sacrifices meI am the lamb, the crucifix
consuming my body
and the thing I grew inside itIt's bloody and hairy and has a tooth crowded smile
I cling onto disgust
