Immolation

I want to dissolve on the outskirts of the world
And I will tie the string to escape the other side
Crowds of people praying on the body
Using her as a host
A public, pregnant ceremony
Preyed on and eyed
You open the glass case of my gazing perfection
Abandon the elders and run for the road
I will light my body on fire before you get too close
They trace the lines on my face;
Facing, I sit at the very edge of the bed
Look at yourself in the mirror
And try to remember who you really are
Orbital puffiness; honey bee pollen;
I put my face on
I put my face back on
