Cold page,
Clean slate.
I spill black ink
To expose its haste
Crying is like breathing now,
When I inhale your scent of earth
And deep husk of home.
Familiarity circles
Surrounds me like the
Feathery tail of a Chinese dragon
She hums that we’re all on this same level
Of hell
But I can’t take it.
I can’t take it.
Circulating in between
Hummingbird heartbeats and
Let down little sisters, are
Reminders that I’ll always want and wait
To die;
That life is not kind enough
To kill me.
