lifelover

when the moon
blinked, he saw

me, angry
but not mad. i

have stars under
my tongue. i
won’t swallow

and my bones
scream to be let out
from under my skin—

they are the fire
on the surface

don't wake me. i'm not dreaming

lifelover

living proof

when i was ten my sister tried to drown me because
she wanted to cleanse me of my sins. they said she was
schizophrenic but
i think she was right

i should have listened
