You ask me what your dreams mean
\nLike I am a divine being
\nI give you words I have stolen from the mouths of those much smarter than me
\nI will let you think I am divine
\nFor as long as I can stand to wear the wool of someone else\u2019s skin.<\/p>\n
After we fuck, you look at me,
\nShrouded in false divinity
\nThe droplets of sweat on my skin you mistake for glimmer
\nI run my hands down my face when you stare too long,
\nMy fingers tug and pull and nudge at all the places my veil has snagged<\/p>\n
Tell me to be transparent
\nTransparent enough to feel the closeness
\nYou can no longer derive from your faith
\nBut, not transparent enough that you can look through me
\nTo the smudged mirror hung on the opposite wall
\nAnd see what you\u2019ve become
\nI share your bed with the women that have come before me
\nDid they perform for you like I do?<\/p>\n
Pour yourself into beads of jade
\nAnd I will string you around my wrist
\nUntil the indents left in my skin are permanent
\nThere is a woman inside my hollow rib cage who never liked you
\nWho never liked the imperfections I allowed you to see
\nBut when you are gone she will be there to occupy the empty room in my stomach
\nAnd wrap her bony arms around me
\nI do not mind that she tells me I have thickened out
\nI agree
\nI look at her in the mirror and beg her to make me divine again<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
