Run around
a spinning saucer.
every step,
you're shrinking smaller.
blood, it falls
like drops of water

from the sky
in to her eyes.

you make me feel like i am barefoot. barefoot and an inch tall. barefoot, an inch tall, and running around a record. barefoot, an inch tall, running around a record, and being shredded to pieces from the ground up.
