#heather nova

i'm not touched but i'm aching to be

in the middle of a mantra of just leave me alone, while i slip underneath gaps below a chest of drawers, twisted and heartburn riddled. hands slip into other dimensions, leave finger streaks down cold windows, gather seeds to plant in preparation for spring renewal, as this tree sheds life from its sunless surface, face down in the loam. this conflict, the flicker of a dying night light bulb— want of sugared mornings and the stirring of eyelashes under bird song. dust to dust, dream to dream.

-kab

there are parts of me he’ll never know

my wild horses and my river beds

pretend i’m crazy, pretend i’m dead

he’s too scared to hit me now, he’ll bring flowers instead

he spat in my face again and i don’t want to die here

he steals it from me

it’s out of my hands again
