​Each summer,
I pretend I’m not tired.
I roll my dread
into the pale nude mornings
& stretch,
my breasts waiting for me,
counting the slits in my heart,
the bric-brac field
of broken,
the anywhere,
everywhere
feelings of empty,
the mistaken lyrics
escaping my throat
& the people
who swore they knew me.

Each summer
I tire
and begin without shade.
My body erect and torn
in halves
singing from my belly.

I reach somewhere,
no where
closer
to find an unfilled space
inside of me,
where there is
laughter and rest.
