getting up again
I cried and crumbled
between your legs
and
fell
down
the hole
with arms spread out
grasping at the roots
that grow up
or down
and darkness is above
and below
“Being young is a disaster…”
Inspired by the Kate Schapira poem on page 55 in the book Town. This is also where the quote comes from.

The Decimated Suitcase
When you spoke to me I tried to impress
I have two pieces of luggage
one filled with you
one filled with me
you can’t open them
The latches are old
it hurts your fingers to pry it open
it leaves indents on their tips
it has scattered bits of sentiment
ripped and shredded
making the mish mash of wood chips
that dug into my knees when I was a kid
when I fell on the ground.
it has the scrambled together
remnants of the blisters on my heels
from walking all day in Manhattan
trying to keep up with my dad.
it has the ripped up remainder
of my frilly dress
that I wore to the Nutcracker.
It has been clawed at
and tugged
and dragged
and dropped.
It has been ruined and
it barely remains.
