You’ve Killed Me

Janet Kuypers
(10/25/11)

you’ve killed me, you know
and I can no longer respond

come to me
I dare you
open my eyelid
shine a light on my face
put that flashlight
right up to my eye

see if I respond

you’ve killed me, you know

they’ve placed me
in a hospital bed
everyone’s crossing
their fingers

this is what it all boils down to
this is what it all becomes

you know you’ve killed me
but still
you still
are
waiting for me to respond


my hand to an anim of jkchair
