Untitled MAG
Walk downstairs,
my stomach hurts,
I don't want to go down
too much screaming
magazines slapping table tops
Pot and pans slam into their places
I can't go down
I don't want to go down
I take a step
avoid the middle of the stair
it creaks
I step to the side
holding onto the banister
walk slowly
so they don't hear you.
seventh stair down
I can sit here
and see.
I don't want to see
too much to watch
too much to feel
too much pain in my stomach
I can't sit up straight anymore
Pull your knees to your chest
suck it in
don't cry.
