Psoriasis
(2014)
Clinical smells Polite strangers The only thing worse Than being here Is to not be able
Strong hands Hold me down To the bed I say to them I have to go
Would I rather be A younger me? More productive Stronger Would i have to give up
I struggle to Keep it together Maxims and mottoes On repeat In my mind
Beautiful legs The right shape and curve Olive color without the green That tans and doesn’t burn Until you see
The E’s squeak by The I’s are too excited The U’s come after Q But the A’s and the O’s They flow
Some I like to share Fresh out of the oven Don’t let it get cold That’s why I wrote it Emotions in that moment
How do you measure pain? All is relative and personal Even with one’s own self It is impossible to compare As memory distorts pain
Long and slender Her every movement Deliberate and graceful Composed as She listens quietly
It’s not pretty When I cry People get almost as embarrassed as I
Love is sincere Sincerely Wanting to connect Love makes you crazy Insanity that makes you fly
A family trait Massage Is our vice No shame Take what
Your pain is far away I hear it But I do not feel it Move closer Let me know you’re here to stay
She is no longer Part of my life I’ve moved on My life is full With friends
My sister’s cookies Chocolate chip Got my nephew to Say her name For the first time
