my mind
is a record
on repeat

#OctPoWriMo Day 8
our voices lost in this void,
like phantoms, we avoid
all real feeling…
#OctPoWriMo Day 7
an ocular view
of what pain has taught me
#OctPoWriMo Day 6
prices paid,
empty pockets
& callused hands
#OctPoWriMo Day 5
seek to cinch sutures
#OctPoWriMo Day 4
in every dream
I have
I’m still falling
#OctPoWriMo Day 3
the monster of the house
grinds its teeth
#OctPoWriMo Day 2
between the barbs
of a genetic prison
a nervous system twists
#OctPoWriMo Day 1
darkness
can shine too
#OctPoWriMo Prep
Instead of this graveyard of drafts I’m accumulating, I can go and tend to them, nourish the garden of my hard work, and revive them into newness.
