My eyes wrinkle with pain and discomfort
probably from the toxic levels of ammonia in my room
my cat’s spray marking territory
no matter how barren
If you listen closely in fact you might hear the sound of the mice in our walls
I asked you a ***** question last night
I was pungent too, interrupted showers
or from the natural odors this body emits from
stress and work and undesirable outcomes
I had moved from my seat to the bed, littered with unwashed garments and ties, on one corner
stained with blood from my cycle
I had
forgotten to dab it quickly
And here I found my little life
open and defective like a child’s
suggestion to read the Bible
My garbage overflowed with rotten items
processed foods, exposed to the airs of my room,
the sniffs of my cat and other critters
My eyes shifting forms red and gauzy
Maybe even not even me
Just a mirror of an old human feeling
like desire, hate, envy
Summoning death for all the wrong reasons
to converse like old friends
to be let into a secret room
to become some thing better
