this is where i come to develop the pictures i take
of her
look into the liquid and see her coming
I hang them and wait
for her red her skin to slowly
turn pink with time
it confuses the brain and thinks it’s
smelling skin and sea salt and suntan lotion
but it’s really getting the fumes
and smiles not meant for it
i can’t let any light in here
only RED
it’s like a butcher club in here
a long leg here and a shoulder there
quiet too, just a few drops
and a giggle
and the sound of blood pumping
as she arrives
