about

I hid from the pieces of you-
that I couldn't stand to look at, or see through.
I hid from the pieces of you that you left in our bedroom-
Or at least, it used to be.
One night in a bathtub naked I laid with my lady friends. We rubbed ourselves with magic crystals to feel that we are still pure and full of light that is surrounding I swear it was my brand new baptism--
I am learning to clean up the mess you made.
I must've got water in my ear-
There's nothing else that I can hear except the sound
Of my broken, beating heart.
And the ghost on the porch that's telling me,
That I am "finally free!"
Must've been the heat-
Or that whiskey.
Who will take care of me?
