Blue Room

the ugly writers
Laying here, drowning in us, my legs brush against the cold rustle of sheets you left behind, cutting the airlessness of this room. Rolling over, I close my eyes

Lithium

the ugly writers
I walk these floors, dirt, beneath bare feet, from many roads taken and the soles of passersby.

Epiphanies

White bolts from above Rain cuts on kitchen tables, releasing bad blood.
