me up please
something
is very wrong
tis the season
to smile
go home
and cry
hope??
haven’t seen her
it’s all
blood vials
dead dogs
expired wine
fruit dropped
on the floor
children walking by
looking for a
drunk nutcracker
named tipsy
and i can’t even
syphon off some
of their joy
because something
is definitely wrong
and they’re fresh out
where do the
butterflies go
when it’s winter
and hopeless?
why do they
leave when
we need
them most?
get emotional
stitch me up
rinse
repeat
happy holidays
let the worry
creep through
the greenery
drape some
guilt on the tree
wrapped in twinkling
strings of panic
cranberry flavored
family fights
anxiety but
make it festive
depression but
make it seasonal
could i get a
butterfly down here?
just some kind of
hopeful flutter
a dog
a needle
anything to
grasp onto
just to get
through
december
find a butterfly
on a ransacked
holiday shelf
70% off and
picked over
get emotional
stitch me up
something is
very wrong
depression
but make it seasonal
