GRAVEYARD DIRT

Graveyard dirt
was sprinkled
on my doorstep
while I slept
comfortably
in my bed.

This morning
I feel so
dirty and soap
and water
won't make me
feel different.

I want to
know what I
did wrong and wish
to beg for
forgiveness
to someone

that I hurt:
to someone
that cast this spell
on my life.
I can't live
with this curse.


WALL RATS

I take out my anger
on the walls,
but never on human beings.
I wouldn't do such things.
I am never that angry.

I feel better today.
I'm not sad
or frustrated anymore.
I just need to leave here.
I'm not some crazy person.

I quit my job because
I felt I
could find something better.
I want to design a
better mousetrap for the wall rats.
