Ankylosing Spondylitis
by

Lyrics
ankylosing meaning bond or join, and spondylitis meaning of the bone or spine. That half explains the cracks and clicks, the clockwork of my joints and discs, the ratchet of my hips. I’m fossilising – every time I rest I let the gristle knit, weave, mesh. My dear, my skeleton will set like biscuit overnight, like glass, like ice, and you can choose to snap me back to life before first light, or let me laze until the shape I take becomes thе shape I keep. Don’t leave mе be. Don’t let me sleep.
