I haven’t yet decided
if I want to belong
a family of
mathematicians
math is everywhere
I tried to capture a square root
but the language
fell out
you claim self-destruction
may taste of redemption
but home is irresistible
when my chest
burns with your name
suck and snort and spit
your words raw
while I unpeel, untaste
this
band-aid on a gunshot wound
I unwrite him
and dream
of calamity
Good work! I like the play on “root” and the sense imagery was great
Fantastic work Nately!
Best,
cw-t
