Everytime a hot comb simmers we dread. We get hurt so often we think it's a nickname. When we say we remember we mean hurricane, hunt meadow, lust, duty, escape, settle, mourn, birch, baptism, tithe, kneel, Sphinx, throat, offering, animal, deadwood. We get hurt so often we never run. Every time we lick our lips the day obeys and repents. Glory glory hallelujah. Hot comb on the stove. Train tracks in the weeds.

I want to tell her that I wear the past like heavy chain mail, that the ache is perpetual, that I never feel like myself.

When hard rain comes, you learn / quick. You straighten your shoulders and hope / this is better than touching.
