Poems
Mar 2013
household chores
save breath for later
lungs in a tupperware
container
ziplock baggies full
of sounds
the ones, the words
I'm too tired to make
hang my eyelids
on the clothesline
to dry, leave the weight
behind
pull all my teeth
plant them in the ground
grow some new ones
place them in my mouth
and let them fall out
that's not how to smile
