Festering

When you manifest
What a man is festering
His sores become yours
A life of soaring by yourself
Is what’s best to manifest

Closeted

I keep the men in my closet  Wrapped up in weatherproof bags They drape from hangers No one has touched in years I have my favorites  Fancy formal dresses  That get worn just once A bridal gown drags the ground Locked away in its white body bag  Amongst memories best forgotten  Then there are the insignificant Testosterone tidbits  Scraped from the bottom of my shoes  That litter the floor of my closet I should really vacuum those out Boxes of pieces that no longer fit I’m just too damn sentimental  To dump them off at the thrift  I haven’t bought anything new in a while The Italian stitching and exotic fabrics Really did a number on my style

Fuck Blue Cross

You guys want to know how aggravatingly difficult it is to be chronically sick in America? I have done it more than once, but let me tell you again.

How many times did I tell you that I wanted to write a book while we were together those 14 years? Since you've been gone this past year and a half, I have written 2 plus more. Buying me a laptop was not the encouragement I needed. Leaving me to simmer in my sorrow was not the way to do it. When you shattered the lightbulb and turned the light out, I switched it back on and can see myself more clearly in this new flattering light. I can also see what's in front of me. Infidels and their infidelity. She is ratchet. I am hammer. So, while I may still be as salty as the Dead Sea, and probably always will be, I suppose I should thank you for teaching me that snakes and sheep dress alike. Thank you for returning me to me. Grazie for your brightness, because it did so used to shine. I hope you find your spark again, but I am no longer your lighter fluid. Thank you for this Renaissance. Grazie for stepping up financially when you no longer could emotionally. Thank you or the pieces of...
