Chorus song no.3
whitney kerutis
What if the room the door leads to is without walls.
You walk through and back out without transformation.
All these you’s running around the page are hard to separate.
We’ve gone too far inward, you see, like a star eating from it’s belly.
I am going to pull your head out of the barrel. There are
no more apples. You and that you are not really here; not really.
I’ve had my heel on the ledge since the beginning.
