honey, i have collapsed.
by Vikki Owensi have collapsed,
my throat and windpipe
falling lax and lopsided heart
failing to find rhythm and start
kicking, instead compressing
under this sullen weight of a crumpled woman.
pupils expand and then contract..
i fall flat
and shatter
but whatever dear,
it doesnt matter.. 01/27/2012 Posted on 01/28/2012

I've been too long away. |
