my skin

was leaving

my body

organs hardening

I tore the box open

to the pink light

bathed in rose oil

drank down the rose wine

ate petals

swallowed thorns

and covered myself

womb to sternum

in stones

Lips the color of blood drained slow. Bone lit. No glow of rose-tinted cheeks. I experimented with rouge, dyes, and paint. I covered myself in rubies, but beneath the glimmer was skin as white as snow. Ice-cold. Frozen over. This medication, they said, keep taking it. For the pain.
