Hysterical woman

Zoe Morgan

Dear delicate electric current that gives one’s hair the spring the step lost I’m sick of shadows and you spark me up

like every nerve clenched too tight to whisper I scream and it’s you I love the camera I dance crazy Cry I’m light and I’m exposed

I’ve got a photogenic jaw and a face of tessellate creases you stung me raw I’m dumb with a lazy tongue but one long hard scream, [snap] Frantic like a moth to film.
