Skin
October 29, 2022
Beige-
All her demons
Crawling beneath the putrid
Ghosts of yesterday
She'd killed,
Wanting to be let out.
The cigarette end
Chafed on pewter
A testament;
One oblong pill
The shape of a fingernail
Vagrant: On the couch.
The prescription, half-heeded-
Waiting, in the moth-ridden
Cabinet.
It's all she's got.
