Who do I haunt in the museums I bordered around other people? Many cut- out shapes of yourself you cannot fit through offer themselves— leftovers of punched- out paper doll yous I lost 130 lb. by eating a sinful amount of meat, now carry an excess of myself forever I sought to push fat out my largeness & learned fat had less to do with my body than the eyes tending its abundance Who you were yesterday: dead Who you are today: how you remember what died The sun capers in a singular pose when setting or rising but burns a red difference into cloud |
