Complicated Life

Weeping in bed I lie about the incision the room all the papers the clothes that have gathered
Strewn about poised to hide
As I lie
COMPLICATED LIFE
Weeping in bed my sobs chose to hide the lack of breath the hold I have on the boy next door
And the queen from the year before the bubbles escape As she does
Weeping in bed I lie escape like water and his final breaths my sobs in rhythm slipping under cover we are both hidden by the same fear
COMPLICATED LIFE
