Favorite Quote:
I am a wound walking out of a hospital.
I am a wound that they are letting go.”
- Sylvia Plath


Braiding pigtails in the outfield,

chlorine fumes,

rushing through my oil painting.

June holds her knife to my throat :

gone, but not yet forgotten.

Film assignments,

weekend pottery sales,

your sneakers in the river.

Her cold knife,

bound to my collarbone.

Remembering is a death sentence.

Last month will not loosen her grip.
