" a girl wakes up & finds she has
been replaced with something
else. something shivering. her
lungs turned to bellows, breathing 
turned to gasping, her mind swelling
like an old house filling with
water & her days spent with an opening
in her chest like a door wrenched
from its hinges.
she forgets herself easily,
goldfish memory. sees the moon/balloon
hanging full in the sky then dreams
that it’s caught in the back of her
throat.
some days, she doesn’t wake up
at all. a door with no hinges to swing on
is not really a door
anymore. "
