I marvel at the fact That I am never by myself  But at the same time  I am always  Alone The men I choose  To allow into my life Make me more lonely  Than I ever was before More and more  I pick them because  They don’t want me It is safe So I don’t end up the woman With the family photos with  Matching shirts on vacation  Whose man belongs to the Entire goddamned world So I am not in the blind position Ever again These men think That I don’t know they’re jackals Circling their next meal I’m not the unsuspecting prey I ask for their every  Menacing bite None of those lies are mine But I see them A predator always needs A fresh kill Lose myself again To another man I never will

Crystal water droplets Saturate the soil To make the burial easier In my fertile field of  Barren abandonment I keep watering graves Long dead Expecting the fake flowers  To change colors Multiplying acres of spent blooms Maybe I’ll still do it Until the day I die Sharing my hydration With the toxic that can’t taste Their own arid poison Same as it ever was Every new crop  Of wilted blossoms Adds another layer To my garden of graves I wish someone would  Return the favor And hose down My burial plot For once
