and they are all very pleased that the drugs are working. productivity is up and arguments are down. i go quietly and laugh like they remember i used to.
i don't tell them: i still need you to be the one to show the difference between myself and the night.
chimes
the lake of my childhood
the prison of my childhood
grandad's seventieth birthday and i call and he cries on the phone
the year my nana had lung cancer
receding hairline
drop beat
no post card
persistant doubt(s)
i said, "i'm moving to haines, alaska" and they stopped asking
citizens, hear me out
oh they want you to be strong. to take the arrows in your chest. to lead. to remain standing and stoic when challenged. they have expectations of you. i do not doubt that it is difficult. i have these expectations, too.
