Gather all appropriate materials:
Pen or pencil
Or Popov
Or needle,
Or knife,
Whatever sin
Most suits you.
Make a list of every *****
Who has ever hurt you.
***** your finger directly
Onto the page, or
Write directly to the *****
Who last left you.
Dream aloud about the
Brown-eyed girl on
That Boston subway
Who got off two stops before you
(Who we both know would
Never have actually slept with you.)
Never tell yourself that
You're not as dark as you think.
Stop smiling and take
Another drink.
Yearn for the ones
You have lost.
Teach your demons
How to speak
And let them write your
Poems for you.
