The uneaten apple in my sweaty palms
and the lamp I just broke, remind me
of the time I was happy to buy them.
My ceiling has a door to nowhere
and I watch, blindfolded, my hands untied,
my tongue on loose, my mind: a rusted studio,
stare at the unfinished painting inside me.
It was a horrid picture and she will come again and I will let her.I loathe the person I become when I'm angry
but she hates the world so perfectly, she almost fits my ribs.
