I am left
to steep
in the vast sea
of my inadequacies

The Cure
days after
that faint burn
of pleasant Green swirls into
her lungs–
She is chilled by
a blood-tangled emptiness
That pulls her
into lost weeks
where she is
a crumpled lump
soaking
in her own foul water

She’s Done
I feel the dull but insistent teeth of your dinner fork
tugging at moth holes
in my sun dress
asking for me to be more bare
for you
more raw
for you
and so I let them needle away
until the threads are unknotted
and the cloth falls to the floor, and
I am
all that you want me to be

Cry of the Wicked
Folded up
in this wrath that
flows like
a river from my lonely gut,
is a purple wound–
unhealed–
that cries and cowers with your children,
pleading for the pain
to die.

Lit Mash: The Grasp
Anxiety is love’s greatest killer.
It makes others feel as you might when a drowning man holds on to you;
you want to save him,
but you know he will strangle you with his panic.
