mad at my arms <br />i promise not to stretch them <br />keep them <br />tied to my body with a <br />strong rope <br /> <br />i am fixed by their <br />fingers and cannot move for days <br /> <br />i take control <br />i bit my tongue and it bleeds and <br />my mouth drinks <br />all the salt and red corpuscles <br /> <br />it is like that <br />i am drinking myself to sustain myself <br />from this <br />fixation of the teeth <br /> <br />i close my eyes and remember <br />the code <br />that i am the king of this <br />small universe <br /> <br />my heart is the planet <br />my head is the sun <br />from now on <br />the emotions are caged like a <br />white bird <br />the waters flow as directed <br />kept well inside <br />my solid dam<br /><br />Suki Nakamura<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/fixation-3/
