you are brewing
and steaming
and boiling
and churning
in the hot air
and hot water
in your nervous system
and you are
making yourself sick
from the words you’re swallowing
debes masticar las palabras
de sus amigos
before you vomit up
tangled messes
is your heart on your sleeve
next to the tender pricks
of your sharpened blade
limpialo! stop crying
i am tired of your stirring
a ti yo soy la bruja
ill shut the lid of the cauldron
