Day 40 of #the100dayproject - When I Take Another Form


When I Take Another Form

I am baking in my kitchen,
the heat from the oven pinching
my face into a sourdough loaf.
This day is a type of lynching
where the hot element glows,
a brand that can alter my skin.
Written words are too much
some ingredients are missing
inside of me, inside this body.
I am comprised of fiction
and if proofed and baked
I will turn to stone,
my heart encased
in my body’s prison.
