Nikita Gill, Fierce Fairytales

I’m quitting the benches, your waiting

room, where nobody’s ever seen. Dear, I was tired

of stairs, your stairs, silent stairs. I remember how you glowed

in the dark, your sorry like a spark. Dear, I no longer strike

matches on your walls.

“Dear,” by Monika Zobel

Dear, I no longer strike

matches on your walls. Dear, it had to end. I remember

the sickness like a concrete block, anchored and dull,

something built for stumbling. No fire, no fire

could blow it up.

— “Dear,” by Monika Zobel
