Mar 22

I cried when I heard the news
big sloppy tears

my jaw clenched up

RELIEF

so yellow

a coward in the snow
drinking from the flowers
flower pots

and some handcuffs
you threw in the back

and the shakes you get
when it’s
RELIEF

she said
son
did it fall in
did it go
did it sleep
did it help
when it crawled out

and all we’re planting

well

can’t we let go

and I come home
and can’t we spin
or dance
I have teeth and sentiment
can’t we spin

relief
