Worthy Marker (2008)

don’t think you are too golden to bleed
you have nothing, nothing to fear from me
my body shows you how to breathe

come and bless my sweat!

rough me up
come out to play, a fantasy
i’m a worthy platform

when you’re done i’ll show you where
the air that you neglected
calls to me
i can fill the space
to get you back on your feet
where the throat and sun meet

possibly a character!
but you’re human to me
whatever makes it easy

when you sleep
the sores that you neglected
call to me
they want to hear me speak
manifest in me
i’ll soothe them
so cling to me
i’m a worthy platform!
