Sam said, “Get over it.” As if I could Just climb a tree. Sam said,
What you meant– What I meant When I said, “I love you.” What you meant to me Wasn’t what you said
A tree fell in the park last night… I didn’t hear it go. The innards smelled of peppermint, And I felt the crumbling dirt Turn into ash in my hand.

Touch me for real. Touch me in your mind And all over my body With your chapped hands. Let your eyes undress me.
Perfection is an evil reflection On what is really real. Solitude is my gratitude When I am sad. Numbness equals oneness
I cannot bring myself to cry. I can’t decide if this is a curse Or a blessing.
My mom hates her life, And I’m too much to juggle, And my dad doesn’t support my mom, And my brother’s never home, And my medicine doesn’t work,

I remember how I cried When they cut down Our tree.
I came back from a mortal hell, But on my way home, I saw no white god, And I saw no golden spirit, And I saw no true son.
I often cajole myself Into crying, But I refrain. I know I’ll never stop.
