Guard against weakness

Pretend to be bigger

Ache inside.

Belly and breasts cascade

over  ample hips.

The glass reflects

Jabba the Hutt lying in state

in my living room.

That is unexpected.

beside me as I lie

white plastered foot

elevated on pillows like a crown.

Royal pain.

close my eyes

and wish.

Now I

open my eyes

and celebrate.

and I am devoured

by your darkness

except for the screaming
