for your birthday i will try to be a better person, again. only this time i'm sure it will work

because i am a carpet moth  
fighting to get out of my clothes

it's a dumb ecstasy as my new wings unfurl
i forget how hot is an electric light

i can't know that a girl-woman has her palm
outstretched hovered over me

or how inevitably it will fall

Author's Note
self-destruction has to be innate, else it's my fault.

re-done. i seem to struggle to string thoughts together more than before.
