Midnight Litany by Thu

CW: allusions to self-harm

Let me normalize, the wrinkle that falls

on my mouth that dries, every once in a while -

prolonged bath times, where I soak up the cold;

let me normalize rejecting your mould.

Can I wander at night? without your eyes

trailing behind the sinkholes I create,

your touch that in the end

burns on the scars,

screaming

to be given space,

to commiserate

about anything.
