• 

i wish to be the trash bag
tossed in shallow
grave,

less than you want to
be tending to it
as thankless
slave,

on wobbly knee, plucking rose
stem from a patch of
poison oak,

raised from death
in tainted bed,

brushing dirt off
weathered
stone

frantic
to redeem

++++

soul from poisons
of the head.

…now to wipe my splatter from the bathroom walls and sweep the glass

from our flower bed.
