2019 is like this
I need a savior lord
knows I need a slick
gin and tonic to slide smoothly
down my throat vape cigarettes through a blue filtered pen
could trade places with sweet-at-home wives instead I
grind over and over but
all I really want is a cat
on my lap as I listen to the night
owl as I listen to the sharp cracks
in the fire when the logs pop and watch
the sparks fly out like shooting
stars I am a mother / a workhorse / the under-dog
I, the ample giver
caretaker
a getter
not a lover (……..well maybe sometimes)
I fold the sheets sloppily and I think
fuck it
