Sandpaper and Cicadas

I wasn’t jealous, exactly, but watching them did make me kind of lonely. I didn’t want what they had, but it seemed easy and comfortable and predictable, and, for a minute, I let myself admit how bad I wished I wanted it.

flounder

It’s hard trying to live for yourself
to shake that dust off your desires

so I unclasp the hinge
at the back of my head
in the softness where my brain meets my spine,
and pull off my skin.
