I plan on living forever. So far, so good.

you asked me what I wanted
and I said
to cut my chest open down my spine
to take a blowtorch to my internal organs
to singe off the places where the sickly sweet acid from my ruptured heart burned me
ached me
to sew it closed with a steady hand
and to curl up into a ball and sleep for weeks
and wake up in your arms.
