I'm Not
Losing / floundering
ignoring / coasting
retreating/ rethinking
stalling / shrinking
I am settling my debts
clearing the inventory
and wiring the electric
to be seen in my own light
I will let you know when I’m
zeroed out, gassed up
and ready to run in the black,
again.
Echo Park
I went home because:
my liver and my melatonin
that’s where I draw the line
the kind of fight where
we don’t really look
each other in the eye
for a day after. Just as well.
I needed the rest of Sunday just
to pick the salt out of my eyelashes.
