The Headache, colour etching by George Cruikshank, c. 1830. |
when I was
something I used
to believe in
it seemed easier
to ignore pain
heard medicine
helps memories
go down
rabbit holes
and prayers
looking glass
willing broken
gone missing
with parts
never found
a poet following beauty
exacting a demanding price
my moral divinity bargained
for my fleeting infinities
my knees came to play
wooden pew prey pantry floor
here I'm wishing, another before
