i'm sorry and i love you but i'm nothing, sannie.

emptying out of my mother's belly
was my first act of disappearance
learning to shrink for a family
who likes their sons invisible
was the second
the art of being empty
is simple
believe them when they say
you are nothing
repeat it to yourself
like a wish

i am nothing
i am nothing
i am nothing

so often
the only reason you know
you're still alive is from
heaving of your chest
