throw me to the ground
and watch me bounce like a glass ball

cover me with leaves
i writhe in my grave

slice me, i am fruit
a pool of juice ripples outwards

rinds in the trash
a broken doll with a lazy eye

i rot my strings
mangled mannequin doesn't dance

plummeting through solid air
no one there to catch me.

A wish for kicking feet to turn into helping hands.

This piece is featured along with most of my other dA writings in my poetry book, Lantern: www.amazon.com/dp/151766523X, which is heavily themed to the dark night of the soul.  

Many of these works also appear in my series of 9 chapbooks, featuring my art on the cover, and are available (randomized) in my chapbook packs.

Packets typically have 6 pieces inside, for sale in my etsy shop, see:

Very sad, don't like seeing you suffer.
