SIBLING COMFORT*

You will be my baby #tonight.

Monsters in my bed

playing in my head

close my eyes with

horror and dread

Please don’t.

snap the golden thread

else I might wake up dead.

little girl ravaged

rewired instead.

I’m your baby tonight.

OUTIES

Dependency smoking
From the Fire

Living
Down to the wire

Trying to enjoy
moments of pain

Watching wives
selling
themselves
tattooed
in the rain.
