She is there and then

she goes blue

Completely frozen lady

Everything stills with terror

Her head cocked, no breath.

 

Fingers twitch as frantic legs search

She is flipped over just beneath the skin

Studdered shoulder has the metal fix

I help her hold herself there’s not much else

 

The gasp comes back up and the room will feel like fuzz

She’s searching for her body among the fabrics

Tugging through skin and velcrow

Her feet get switched around shaking the devil’s rythum from her soles

 

Says a prayer to stay with herself

Those bewildered eyes only want to know what she’s got

She knows what she wants;

Shampoo, shampoo,

3…4,

3, Jesus loves her, sleep,

 

You can’t hold someone back from dying.
