"don't come any closer, or I swear, I'll do it!" by Jolie Jordan
She could reach the sky
with her outstretched palms
pressed up tightly against
her boxed-in atmosphere.
And she swollows the galaxy
as it tumbles down her throat
washing it down
with a little euryalida.
She doesn't know
that he observes her
as she picks the skin
out from underneath
candy-apple red nails.
