Watch Her Break

Scrambled legs Tingling fingers Grayscale of concrete. Shimmering metal Dancing air No energy to deplete. Rasping breaths Stomach twisted Into a crumpled bow. Quietly shrinking Girl in a dryer Shriveled lips of snow. Lurching throat Dried up tongue But nothing will come up, Scarecrow arms And glass-shard legs Are never thin enough.
