They wake naked,

fist bloomed inside themself.

They wake bald,

throat packed with coconut oil.

They beg the night to bring a lover, all hands no face.

Night says yes, child and their skin thickens,

whole body callus, scalp to toe.

They beg the night to bring a balm.

Night says yes, child and their eyes are open

faucets, room the smallest sea.

They beg the night, let them drown,

let them drown drown drown.

Night says yes, child.

They wake.
