relationships
“In The Grips” by VC Ferry
it’s over, I mean, completely over
and as much as I think i’ve got
things down pat…bam, the pain comes…and when it comes, its my habit to run and
keep running…but I am all alone, and there is no where to run to…sitting here,
feeling this empty pit in my stomach…with the reminder that it’s OK to feel
this pain…
breathing in, breathing out

“Uneasy Chair” by L. K. Thayer
I can’t get the
bitter taste
of you out of my
mind,
you’re a nasty muse.
I gave you my lining
I gave you my inseam
I wore my favorite
jeans.
undone
I sit like a cat
waiting
for the next twig to
snap
to hear if there’s
an echo or
something,
anything to bounce
off of.
but there is
no murmur
to fill my void.
you lean back in your
easy chair
while the rest of the city
rots
and sinks into potholes
on bumpy roads to
nowheresville

you
scratch your balls
and worry
that you’re out of cream
and Sweet & Low
for tomorrow morning’s
cup o’
joe

“Recover” by L. K. Thayer

and your
springs are
gone
and your
stuffing
is coming
out
and you can’t
stuff it
in anymore
and you feel
punched
in the gut
and your body
aches
with regret
and you think
what did I say
can I take it all back
can I make
an exchange
can I make amends
and you ask yourself
can you pretend
that you don’t know
what you know
and you walk out
the door
cause you know
you can’t let it sit
inside you
anymore
