where do you keep
your secrets?
i keep them under the beds
of my fingernails
i bury them in the
purple hollows below
my eyes
i stain them with scratched
scab blood
disguise them as teeth
grind them together
while I sleep
so I won't forget the new truth
the whole of it
i punch them into
pillows with girl fists
i write them - claw them -
into the skin of my arms
i keep my secrets
where anyone can find them
DU LIEST GERADE
when i speak
