These are the things you fear, girl. Mouth spinning like a top.

Sewers; dip of the street that welcomes the rain.
Clowns named for pronouns: It. Him. They coming to get you.

Avalanche of bees attacking your best friend. & your best friend.
A girl, opening for a beast. The fat rolls of your skin.
& cellulite. Inner thighs wrenched like a Rubik’s Cube.

Not knowing how to run & breathe. Run & scream. Going fast.

Going too fast. Slut. Cow. You were a girl once, genie
granting wishes that only came true for birds. No, look closer
you have been eaten by the ones you serve. Boombox, shovel.

To obey; to have the nerve. Soft wet palms, kindness, shins.
