Resisting lingerie resisting chapstick call from a burner never
A landline too slow to disconnect splintered
Knuckles doctor winds up until
I can do it myself
Orange hospital pill bottle glow please don’t give me fentanyl
Snow piles up Erie January wasteland in a shoebox
Baby, what do you think this is
Smudged face ruined mirror reverse
Edging towards hysteria assisted upon insistent on 
Cool white lights bright pills under tongue
Heartbeat muddies under sternum chest 
Under 34th street lamplit the sky unknits itself 
Weatherman says it cannot be possible
Lake waves break frozen onto crackling sand
