Ode to the Working
I have discovered
That my soul’s been hiding in
The knot in my back.
I have discovered
That my soul’s been hiding in
The knot in my back.
eyeballs collide and
melt off my face from
friction friction friction
and the negative space.
Scrape at the barnacles
On my skin
And feel the vibrations
Of my call
Because this is all
This is all
I am and have
To offer when
Home is everywhere
And I am a vagabond
And feeling so small.
Fizzle out
Your heart like a spout
Don’t wish for an echo
In the basin just let go
and find what you’re really
about.
She’s Gone?? And the internet sighs with relief…
the spiders and insects
that crawl up my legs
are nothing but specks
Sympathy finds me
In my room with Self-pity-
And leaves with disgust.
There are wood chips in my bed,
And that stretching, prickling thread,
That reaches deep in swift pursuit,
Tangles ribs, and bones, and root,
Is making me a weed with feet-
It can’t be pulled,
It runs too deep.
By the end of this summer,
My hands will be raw-
