(1) Hell is a desert

by Meghan Helmich

We fell into snake holes this morning,
our ankles cramped at an angle,
our cries made sour by the misty air.

I asked to wear your boots so often
that you broke down and bought me a pair
in obnoxious pink alligator skin

which I walk around in with no shame
because I love wearing your intentions,
hateful or kind, but always passionate.

I say go for it, because I dug this.

'Still pondering titles.' Ah, there it is. I'm silly. "I love wearing your intentions," is a remarkable line matched with markable subtext. Keep this series alive, I like it.
