In week one
I decided that
completely powerless
was the safest feeling
I had ever felt
In week two
gifted expensive whiskey
and mommy issues
told you all my secrets
In week three my skin
was healthier
for having known you
and nothing felt so dark
as before
In week four
I heard every song
sound
as if on
acid
In week five
you showed me
that he did not have
the cornerstone
on breaking my heart
I would not know that until
week seven
In week six
_space_
In week seven
typing…
In week eight I watched
the blood move down skin
which had not been opened
in better than two years
It was then
I knew
the shelter had become
the storm.
I don't count the weeks anymore
It is winter now.
