the outside of life; untouchable matrix where i watch.
eternally i linger the void of outskirts, consuming, never consumed. my face just outside of every picture, body blurred and unscathed.
to be gorgeous, you have to first be seen. but, why would i want to be seen? the word is synonymous with hunted.
iris with blown out pupils: i’m fine in my shell of a mind. eyes bright, out of reach from the barrel of the gun.
look at me, looking at you. i’ll never be anywhere but by the side of the limelight. a sidekick, invisible.
consuming, never consumed; life can be so still.
