Uncanny Little Trinket

My naughty art project is done!

These things do not happen on their own

Part of you has to die before it can rot

Infection has to grow before it can kill

A wound must be patient before it can suppurate

But I learned to take pain very quietly

Locked my ribcage and held my breath and

hoped to suffocate the wicked inside of me

I did not know that it was biding its time 

To build itself a home the size of my body and

grind us both into the soil to feed the roots

These things do not happen on their own

A child is not born decomposing

Someone has to plant the wicked inside them

Sometimes this means I collect rust;

ligaments neglected and brittle

My hands forget how to touch things

without wanting to destroy them

and my teeth ache for catharsis

Sometimes this means I am asleep

for so long I reside in liminality

I become estranged from myself; I am submerged in a cosmos of anesthesia

with no anchor to my body

Sometimes this means I can feel the photons

dissolve into my skin when morning floods through my window

I am warm, and my blood is made of gold

My pulse whispers assurances:

I am going to see more tomorrows that

remind me my vocal cords were intended

for rhapsody instead of elegy

This of course does also affect intersex people but we all know y'all don't care about us except when it's convenient to use us as a token.
