they say shame
is a trampoline
words like that
are wilting
what about mold
and dust
and rashes
instead of dressing wounds

is a trampoline
words like that
are wilting
what about mold
and dust
and rashes
instead of dressing wounds
what about just
a dress
black and mesh
from the thrift store
riding the bus there
we’d feel the surge
of fresh life
days when the mountains
made a glacial basket
for our growth
I sewed paper roses
to the collar
wore black plastic bracelets
butterfly clips
everything in its place
protection
from the thrift store

butterfly clips
everything in its place
protection
because love and panic
were one
were one
Love and panic. I feel like you've just named something important for me.
