i bear words
you’ll see i’m gonna make it, i said
you’ve been making it for years, he replied
wear my tie and nothing else
and there i was. back to the beginning
of twenty years. it’s easy to
love someone who never stops
loving you. who sees you
every day without makeup
and metaphors. it’s hard to
give your soul to strangers
for a few days and get it
right back. you made
it easy to disappear.
you make it harder to come
back. don’t let the bastards
get you down, i told her.
i can start my own poetry club
without stars and re-tweets
and favorites and blocks
and haters and jealous
bitches that block, that stalk
and track my sales. i can flee
but i’d rather watch you
sleep. wake up to your
i love you’s. confuse all of
them and hate none of them.
whisper secret goodbyes and
good morning sorrows to whoever
gives a fuck. submit my life
in one hundred pages
to print and out of print presses.
wear my bangs and old
jeans tighter and sexier
because age does not matter
to souls. you don’t get that
part of me. the bohemian.
long-skirted girl, jumping over
fences to meet you. you get
that sweet spread your legs
girl. the one that never rests.
it’s complicated to admit
defeat. i bear arms. words.
swords with pills. i gulp.
i fast for you. days. months.
years. it keeps me sane.
insane. but not common.
not boring. so take back your
words. i’ll never read you
again.
