Subject: ... my first poem in a long time. i was actually enjoying not having anything negative to write about. and then my mother's mouth woke up.



"brilliantly yours"


could it be
any more on me?
to weigh me against you,
and the possibilities of an escape -
impossible,
even if the exit sign is 2 months away.

but this fight has become
brilliantly yours,
for your voice shatters glass.

and i can make my silence deafening,
and you can't stand that talent about me.

it all makes me want to
up-and-away myself.

and the spirals have straightened out
when you've straightened your spine
in my direction

and i let myself out
because you're chasing me still,
even if i'm running in the opposite direction.
