Oh. My. God. Where do I even begin? At the beginning? In the middle? This is amazing.
"Perhaps one day they’ll invent a machine that lets the damned laugh again" and the puppet strings and ozone layer and the painted skulls and of course the last three lines.
Especially the last three lines.
"I painted skulls on your eyelids while you slept./Ironic what happens when your eyes are closed;/Death comes walking."
I'm getting that tattooed across my face. It's that amazing. Then people will just look at me and read my face and be like "well i've never met her, but she must be cool."
