i. cut your chest open.
crack the sternum, dig your fingers in.
past the warm, squishy inner parts and search for your spine.
sink into these spaces and feel the burning air
stay for days and sleep and dream of dying animals
rugged burning flesh
where does the soul exist?
ii. turn yourself inside our and trace the ridges of your bones
i want you to bounce from your femur and sink into the warm gooey parts of your toes.
race to your stomach and stay and flutter
until you feel tingling butterflies surround you.
crawl back out and like a newborn,
raise your head and smile.
iii. race to your fingertips
stay and linger there for days
