Holy
The Golden Palominos

I eat only sleep and airnAnd everyone thinks I'm dumbnBut I'm smart because I've figured it out.nnI am slimmer than you arenAnd I am burning my skin off little by littlenUntil I reach bone and selfnUntil I get to where I am essentialnUntil I get to where I amnnFood doesn't tempt me anymorenBecause I am so full of energy and sensenI can even pass by water nownBecause I am living off the parts of menThat I don't need anymore.nnI could feel the slow drips of pain before,nSwirling inside where my lungs should have been.nNow I'm clean inside.nnI threw out hundreds of things that I didn't need anymore.nAll my dresses and brasnStupid things like jeans and socks.nMost days I float through the house nakednSo I can see myself in the mirrors.nI have hundreds of them everywherenAnd they talk back to me all the time.nThey keep me true and pure.nThey make sure I'm still here.nnWhen I knew what I had to donI took all my notebooks, all my manuscriptsnAnd ate them page by pagenSo I could take my words with me.nnI can finally control my life and even deathnAnd I will die slowly like steam escaping from a pipe.nnThis is my greatest performancenAnd all of the actresses who won my parts will saynHow wonderful to let yourself go that mad,nHow wonderful to go on this kind of journeynAnd not care if you come back to tell the story.nnI scratch words on the walls nownSo people will visit this museum and knownHow someone like me ends up like thisn(they'll say there is art in here somewhere).nnEverything that comes out of me is sacrednEvery tear, every cough, every piss.nEverything that comes off of me is sacrednEvery fingernail, every eyelash, every hair.nnStarvation is sacred and I scratch my bonesnAgainst the windows at night.nI light candles and feel myself evaporate.nThis body is a little church, a little temple.nYou can't see me now because I've gone inside.nnMy family doesn't call anymore.nMy friends don't call anymore.nYou can't hurt me anymore.nThey can't hurt me anymore.nOnly I can.nnAnd that's okay.nI don't need them anymore.nI can live off of me.nI speak to me.nI dance with me.nI eat me.nnWhen they find me, I'll have a little smile on my facenAnd they'll wrap me in a white cloth and lay me in the groundnAnd say they don't understand.nBut I do.nI don't hurt anymore.nI'm not lonely anymore.nI'm not sad I'm not pretty anymore.nI made it through.nnI feel so holy and clean when I stretch out on the floor and sing.nSometimes god comes in for a minute and says I'm doing fine, I'm almost there.nnEvery day I get a little closer to vanishing.nSome days I can't stand up because the room moves under my feetnAnd I smile because I'm almost there,nI'm almost an angel.nnOne day when I am thin enoughnI'll go outsidenFluttering my hands so I can flynAnd I will be so slight that I will pass through all of younSilentlynLike wind.
