cured (when)


cured (when)


(1)

when they gut me
and hang me
up to cure

they’ll wonder
how they can ever
eat all those words

(2)

when i stare
at the reasons
long enough

everything runs together
like the alphabet
of my blood trickled

on the sidewalk
where your footprints
track my incurable disease

(3)

when i lay birds at your feet
and leave mice at your door
i am your feral cat domesticated
