ANOTHER The shiver of last night's fear wakes me before the sun light There's no reason I think to die See, I have made it A new day I survived I roll over close my eyes and fall asleep PRETEEN It's a little odd that a child so new to life would seek out death Still there I was aspirins and a piece of broken mirror Angry Frustrated Extremely sad I didn't even break the skin A GOOD LAY Sex with him left me soft-brained Slushy Mushy and content Immobile by choice so as not to disturb the lapping flow against my flesh like waves BRIGHT The sky reminds me of the pool we fucked in while everyone else was drinking themselves into impotence I can't help but smile as the sun enters my skin as smooth as you did and leaves me feeling warm It's been 8 years since then Funny what a little sunshine can do |
