this house is as real as ungrown nails on the tips of my bony fingers
something is scratching from in between my lungs,
searching for the solace it deserves
I feel it wilting too.
the inexplainable feeling of touching the harsh corners and the yellow walls and the emptiness we will be filling with
lavender in the place of sweat
I do not like this setting
but like the ladies on the street who boast about the bruises between their thighs and call them battle scars,
my choices have always been grave

this house is as real as ungrown nails on the tips of my bony fingers
something is scratching from in between my lungs,
searching for the solace it deserves
I feel it wilting too.
the inexplainable feeling of touching the harsh corners and the yellow walls and the emptiness we will be filling with
lavender in the place of sweat
I do not like this setting
but like the ladies on the street who boast about the bruises between their thighs and call them battle scars,
my choices have always been grave
