Chew me up
Spit me out
Gulp me down
Guzzle guzzle
Drain me
Muzzle me
They
Pin me up
On their wall
Like some butterfly
Exquisite
My wings spread wide against the cork
They Gaze with a light smile
At my entombed corpse
I am a whimper now
Among a sea of deep baritones
Why didn’t you scream they said
I tried
But how could I compete
against your echo
your cacophony
I guess they love me
Like one loves
a porcelain vase
Oh so pretty to look at
Oh so fun to shatter
