The door is locked; Iâve said a curse to keep it shut.
My brotherâs safe; my brotherâs body will stop breaking.
I really didnât plan to find each foot in front of every other.
I really didnât plan to find my fatherâs ropy arms at such a special cant.
The blade goes dull because Iâm always talking.
My teeth fall out; I find myself asleep again.
The walls have changed: they make themselves of stone instead of plaster.
Become a faun, become a thing that changes shape.
I didnât really think about the time Iâd spend away from being human.
I didnât really think about the chance of living somewhere past my teens.
I donât need food, now, because Iâm always talking.
I donât need air or warmth, because the car can drive itself.
I donât need water: my cells are bricks in cubby holes.
I donât need memory: my tongue reads like a book.
