To the people who taught me
not to delete my poems,
thank you for loving a version
of me I wasn't ready to love yet
To the poems I deleted before that
I'm sorry I discounted your worth,
thank you for helping me grow
To the poems I will forget
to include in published
collections, I still
love you

she asks again
what is needed
what hamstrings me
what kills my climb
what siphons sleep
what eats my time
what smothers wit
what steals my stride
what worsens grief
what breaks my mind
I shrug and hesitate to say
this leech on me cannot be #shed
because the demon in my head
is
me

another bump
#small, probably nothing
nothing, like a breeze
benignly gracing the days, or
Nothing, like such gusts
that grow to hurricane force, or
NOTHING, like all the times
doctors said,
“the Pain is in your head,” or
NOTHING, like diagnoses that
take decades, or
probably
nothing

these brittle brain cells
these dry-firing action potentials
these microscopic thought seeds
die
when trauma meets raw meat
when toxins find blood streams
when age eats functionality
you
lie to lure me in
lie to feign innocence
lie to mask Mr. Hyde
yet I can't #stop loving you

it didn't fit
they tried a smaller size
but each white piece
with its mitten-ended sleeves
billowed around her
little broken bird
able to escape again
a danger to herself and others
smiling as she glides
as she chimes her heartwood song
drowning out the lie
that she's not dreaming
