Erase Me

by Kalikala Smith

And the bee stings
and the dog bites
and the bird sings
and I am not alright.

And my heart aches
and the moon quakes
and everything breaks
without a sound tonight.

And the places
that I used to be
have fallen and gone
away from me.

And the figure
of the woman
that took my place is soiled
and scattered among her theives.

I am not tattered
I am not broken
just my mind has forsaken me.

I am not battered
I am not stolen
just my mind has erased me.
