You're sorry?
Don't give your
self so much
credit.
Because there was
Sam moving down
to Michigan and
Jenny pulling herself
to ribbons and
grandma reeking in a box
in a room full of strangers
in familiar skin.
It wasn't the
cross-contamination or
the message that was
lost in translation
or the spectre on your
fingertips or the
"but" after the "beautiful"
or the
fucking silence.
You were always putting
(thrusting)
words
in my mouth.
Stop.
I won't swallow this time.

dont write under the influence
Dr. Asclepius called me;
he told me i'm bipolar
(i still say it's luxuria)
My prescription?
Fucking medicine.
Take two pills:
Doctor's Orders
(as if anyone actually
obeys those, anyway)
Take another pill.
One for each time
you looked at me,
then two more if
i had looked back.
i'll take one more for that time you

echoes.
it's been a month
but my skin says
it's been
a month too long
your skin says
you've forgotten
the flocks of
sea gulls
taking flight in my body
the seashells lining
my throat
so i will always sound
like the ocean
the glass bottles
reflected in
the greenest of my eyes
you've forgotten
i'm just fog off the water
i'll be gone by tomorrow
but i'll be back
Literature
just fine and you
things you learn at 63,000 feet;
I am not scared to die.
/
things you learn on the ground;
I am scared to love.

that part is amazing- it makes me think of those antiseptic spray things in hospitals
