Ode to my wrists.

If my wrists were secrets 

I would hide them.

Id cover them up

with drawings of dandelions and tulips

I\'d let them grow-

then I\'d cut them off.

I\'d let them leak down my arms-

then I\'d clean them up.

I\'d listen to them scream in agony

then I\'d tell them to shush and suffer.

In silence.
