my tissues die
dehydrate
crumple under the weight
of your hand

the one that took
the chicken by the neck
and snapped it

i cringed, remember?
i cringed

i can feel my skin
going up in flames now
out in the sun
the one that ruined me
took my eyes
drew them to the ground

the one that told me to keep going

i swallow my pill
make sure it's gone down
all the way
(because last time it didn't)
and lay down

i'll be dizzy today
but at least i'm not
disintegrating

It's been a long while, Kate, since we last read some of your work.

I hope you are well...

but your imagery...well, you did not disappoint!
