Measure Me
Measuring the ways in which
I disappear
Mind, Soul, Body.
When asked to tether myself to thoughts
that anchor fear onto bare ankles
balancing the edge of diving boards
leading the way to calming chlorine.
A sideways home filled with
emptied liquor cabinets and screaming doors.
Silencing words before they reach
the underside of my babbling tongue.
If you ask the heart why it self-destructs
Forgets to beat, forgets to hush.
The cause of the ringing in your ears
You mistook for love.
Vanishing girl
floats to the bottom, then
bites her tongue, and falls in love.
She falls in love.
She falls in love.
