white inkblot

she stopped writing poems
when she realized
my body just hurts;
everything is hurting.

(sometimes i stared into the mirror
and traced the center with my fingertips
trying to press into an unknown chamber
of my reflection. something to help me break free.)

i don't even know what i'm running from;
a trembling body
counting pills, palms shaking.

the same curtains and white walls
adorning this funeral ground.
i'm waiting,

waiting waiting waiting
waiting help me
