my blood.

I will never know why my blood
scares you.
I can try
to put myself in your position:
on top,
poor you.
anesthetic,
poor you.
poor you,
misaligned.
I will never know why my blood
scares you.
I can try
to put myself in your mouth:
unaware,
poor you.
privileged,
poor you.
poor you,
misguided.
I will never know why my blood
scares you.
Can you try
to put yourself in my body:
I bleed
and you cry.
