(foggy harbor, ibuprofen)

rustyspoom

Free verse
morning
and it
creeps
onto me
nothing, nothing, then all at
once

speaks to me
not pain
just the everything
cities are too nothing, nothing, so, all at
once
it’s my everything

i’m
molding
damp
nothing, nothing
white, almost
soggy paper handkerchief on the table

makes me curl up
pain
i’ll miss it

eventually
