late at night

alone
and smell like
smoke.
blond marlboro
and owned
by emotion.

lonely wind
combs
my skin
reminds me
what I've
missed.

some loss
of innocence.
sex in sand.
powders.
flowers
& something to
call
ours.

hands on
my breasts
while I scrub
dishes.

I wish my
sheets smelled
like sex
and not
tide.
I wish I could
wake up
and not cry,
eat eggs
and sleep again
and wake up
vile
with a
crooked smile
and aisles
of ache.

I feel like
a mile
of mistakes.
miss takes
a walking
earthquake
and a sick
inner bitch
I can't
shake.

I want
to rid
all of it.
