Apr 2

I’ve got some roaches
hidden in my coat pocket
and a mouse
burrowed in my hair

he says
all my children resent me

but I think that’s okay

I stretch out like a rug
so blind and brown
dirty
from the dust

five grams of fat
and some protein
he chews on the bones

what a horrible conclusion

I put on a hat
hiding a dead bird
and scratch my beak
so stubborn
in the moonlight

he says
all my children resent me

but what a horrible thing
to say
