the body will flatten out /
stretching into a thinning line /
point fading, end ending /
and some land breathing around it /
with more colours and shades /
than our internal organs can muster /
what a dull dot are we /
blinking enough to miss the sun /
sleeping beside the giant /
who can smell like all of us /
too small to wake him /
stepping again in our own tracks /
days made into a flip book /
thumbed backwards /
delinquency enough to throw matches at our children
