The Jam Files #10 : Just For You

Your homeland stays inside your bloodstream. When you’re away from it for too long your veins begin to burn with longing.

incessant babble
bubbling
from the mouth
of panic

I wanted to wake up,
but I’m a glutton
for seeing how things
turn out

this could be
viewed as a
re-visitation
of the glory days

I am ready to talk about quarantine.

reminiscing on
eyeliner so thick
everyone will know
you’re crying

This winter has been a deep freeze.

My poor husband is in the hospital…

I have learned to be glad
for the things I’ll
never understand

what pain looks like
but only to those
who allow themselves to feel it
