the bathroom skin is clogged:
I am quite empty
these past few moments
like each and every thought
I've had
is dripping out my nose
and onto the bathroom floor
a kind of domestic rage
pooling at my feet -
I want to draw a picture of us holding hands:
you said my name
and a window slammed shut
because I am trying
to be strong
not kind
but I am also buying yarn
because your ears got cold
and I want to knit you a hat -
I am trying to try to keep me alive:
sadness always hits me
like a screen door
with broken springs
all at once
and I hold myself together
ands its not quiet
or beautiful
it is like cleaning up paint -
learn how to change a tire:
i wish so badly to be
ethereal
a specific type of beauty
defined by silk sheets
and a mysterious expression
but instead i am
waking up with bloody noses
and forgetting to put the caps -
if you can get up you can get down:
have you ever had sour
cherries?
they're an angry fruit
that stings your throat
and boils in your stomach
prone to scrunched noses
and tart pies
and being gathered -
Pinch me:
There are a finite
amount of minutes that
I am allowed
so you are making a sandwich
and I am telling you how
when awful things happen
I pretend they didn't
