Pack life into a few lines with me.
Direct consequence
of low self-esteem
poor self-worth
is being surrounded
by dimwitted shorts
with you being in the center
Get upset enough to love
yourself unlike anyone
has ever
and rid of dumb in all our lives
Woke up
thought, hasn't snowed
for a couple nights
Smiled in the face of spring
who chuckled at me
when I looked out the window
Tea with a cat, then
It's almost been 11 years
since I ran away
The smell and peace took
me back to a day
he came into that space
to take my love into his hands
So far away in thought
I was today I realized
I left my kids
Be present, I tell myself
Away with past
Some blurry photos, yes
but not a thought. For what?
I saw fire
burning under water
No punch line
no moral
Just a dance
The language of compliments
is a dead one in my family
Beyond that, I don't know anything
about anything
and live in this stinking town
wasting away
all the talents I don't possess
and small children
What languages do you speak?
