sick and tired
November 28, 2022
ive been groping in a
bare-skinned room, draped with
beige wildflower wallpaper.
ive been swimming in a muddy
pond with an open mouth,
hosting a bed and bath for parasites.
ive been crouching in a
shallow grave, gripping my grandmother's
skeleton and burning to feel her hands on my
back as I take my bows.
ive been mourning with an
infant's coffin laid upon my lap
like a silent suicide note.
I have been watering
and pruning my irises, because something inside me
says to go blind quicker.
hold my hand.
