up

a bruise on the under-elbow of my arm,
bluish green tender leaf needle.
the scent of vanilla insence,
masks worry in my head.
just give up,
or wake up.
after 2 hours of sleep
to realize:
"there is a reason why we all do this"
i learn about what i am when i read
about those girls,
with green-yellow tinged skin.
