If you were a Book
You'd be too many Pages—
No one would dare to read you
Except me—in short Stages

The Words on your Skin
Would be written backwards—
To symbolize your backwards Mind—
And on each Bone, new Chapters

I'd put a bookmark ribbon
Between your Heart and your Lungs—
So I'd know how to find the Pages
Of the life you lived once.
In the style of Emily Dickinson (kind of)
