#friday morning

LIVE

My Friday morning tasted like salt and despair

Tastes like “I don’t care” but I do

Tastes like failure

Tastes like I don’t know

But it tastes


It’s bitter

It’s unloving

It’s uncaring

It’s my smeared makeup

My stuffed nose

My wet cheeks


Kiss me

Kiss me Friday morning

So I know just how bitter sweet you are


My stiff face

My cold fingertips

Your warm discouragement

Our cold heart

My hot head

What should we make of this?


A sigh of capitulation

I am Friday morning
