Wednesday
Sarah Sorensen the scent off the pillow, gone I want to inhale your ghost my fingers are twined up in my hair greasy at the scalp, dry at the ends Dracula is 15 unread pages nobody suspects that I did a few dishes my cat washes her sister’s eye the world is a strange place that you can know too easily and then forget I don’t do “bucket lists” because I have been prepared to die for decades I am grateful every minute I call for help too quietly It falls through the air like a single raindrop splits open on the ground, gone I ate some of your hair on Thanksgiving Because I needed you I say “I love you” Everything else is a subheading Everything, everything else |
