sear into my brain
feels the same
as when it was pushed
out of my mother’s vagina
and into a yellow room these last three lines are powerful
they say it’s calming
but I find nothing sincere about shit
in mold cracks and
ammonia stained tiles i like this stanza a lot mainly the images it implies, though i'm not sure what calming has to do with sincere.
i want to light a cigarette
but Jenkins told me it’s bad
he put pictures on his tele box
pictures of black lungs and
tubed throats. again the stanza creates a wicked image. it leaves me wondering who jenkins is. it's a solid vignette
we all write when we’re weak
i write because i don’t get tired not sure this line adds anything and maybe it weakens the rest of the stanza
because there’s nothing to talk about
when your head’s in the sink
thanks for the read.
