December has been quiet

by Meghan Helmich

I've stopped talking to people --
embraced the death of sound
and wrapped myself around it

in an attempt to punish
everyone who ever slid a blade
into the warm belly of love

and fingered the hot indecency
of its pouring bowels
with soft earnest hands.

December's speaking loud and clear in this piece, ma'am. Beautifully done.
