Bump

You kick me, you poke me, you flip and you ambush

Brutal little organ twister, no input of language

I sing to you, I whisper, I ask? and I laugh

As I rest my weakened head in bed, you come at me full charge

I double over in agony, rub my stretching flesh to soothe

But all that does is double it and aggravate you

Some days I don’t recognise myself, within a skin within

Totally consume by such a little thing


I count the days until I feel the worst pain I’ve ever promised

I can’t wait to hold you, as our blood pools upon us

Your fragile little bones will call to mine for safety

As I pass you to your daddy’s big arms with palms that are shaky

I’ll swear to God those acts of barbarity will never be reciprocated

I’ll allow all insecurities and pity-mes become emaciated

Because I have reason, finally, little eyes to invest spark

And just like now, when you wow with kapow, I’ll answer your shrieking calls in the dark


So keep on that wriggle, that tackle and that slide

Keep ballooning me further, with fluid to hide

Pretzel my ribcage and distort the losing button

Take it out on me, baby, I’m a soft-boned glutton

I still feel your bruising reach, even when you impeach the truncheon

Almost like you’re half part of me, or something

When you finally meet my own physique, I’ll be battered beyond familiarity

Stitched together, and held forever, at the break of our family.
