11/20/11 by Meghan HelmichI've always been exceptional
at organizing a parade like a bruise,
starting red and purple with
the broken vessels
and coming to find a yellowed
healing in the mourning
of things that have never been --
the wake of my dignity,
a funeral for your affection. 11/22/2011 Posted on 11/22/2011 Copyright © 2025 Meghan Helmich
