Gratuitous Poem #4


Meant to lose myself among the giants
concrete castles full of homes
full of families making dinner
and peaceful evening television
My empty ribs led me there so I could
wrap myself in the excess
of so many people knowing they're home
like stepping off the edge of the pool
feeling the water rush through every opening
filling every space your skin doesn't keep

A plaza placed with three stone cats
curled and content in the dark
I thought they might wake, attack me
lone white girl with earphones in
vulnerable
