Salt
“I don’t want to talk about this”
Then write about it
How else will we understand
The brambles and backstarts
Of your boarded up heart
How else will we understand
The humming and hell fire
Of each unsorted part
I’m in gross excess, recalibrating my roaring veins
In the cordoned off party of your celebrated name
VIP, I’m not invited
Yet the incel of my soul has taken fault
The purpose of my love, so divided
But where now to wander, since I’ve had
Your salt
