An April Weekend

1.

So angry,
yesterday,
I cut off my lips
and pinned them
onto a lithograph
of watercolor valleys.

2.

Love thy neighbor
as thyself
Is a bold
proverbial assumption
of self-love -
Don't you think?

3.

Summer time,
brings out in me,
the darkest shade
of dysmorphia.

4.

Even your visitor's pass
into my life,
comes
with an expiration date
in gray italics
printed
towards the back of the admissions card.

5.

Earlier today,
I grabbed a cloud
and replaced it
with a yard
of aluminum foil.

6.

I could have been
Anna Belle
Your purse full of secrets.

7.

You are remembered
by the feel
of a stainless steel key.
