the cold morning air

when I wake up at dawn
I will feel empty and clean

nothing left inside me
wrenched out by the night

the cold morning air

that inhales my ribcage and floats my hair when I look out my window
being clear and cold
and empty

frost on the grass

quietly entering through my window
i am the only one awake

nobody else can see

I feel my bones against my shirt
It's grey and cottton made

this is my purest form
clear and cold and empty

remembering a faraway god I do my praising

my mother is a religious person
she sacrifices me

my father is an atheist
he sacrifices me

I am the lamb, the crucifix

consuming my body
and the thing I grew inside it

It's bloody and hairy and has a tooth crowded smile
I cling onto disgust
