i carved my initials into everything i touched
until they were no longer mine.
there are eyeballs in the electrical sockets
and an audience in my brain waiting
for you to pound on the walls and scream
for puddle jumping into the next life,
the next name. mascara tastes like baby,
please, please don’t cry
i remember you like me: boy
body fairy-godmothering period stains.
put your hands at my hip dips
and tell me you don’t feel the new bones?
if i change my name,
maybe i’ll turn into a prince after all.
