“and it all comes down to this
a gospel written in the living
an incantation we pass hand to hand
soul to soul
it’s this
if you do nothing other than run
run in the direction of you”

“if you haven’t had to
you won’t ever understand how brutal
how ugly
how devastating it is to leave
or that it would have been worse to stay”

“I never gave you a chance to set fire to the dry tinder of my heart
did it myself
doused myself in gasoline, went searching for a match
I found it in her
a familiar beast of whiskey and jealousy”

“and at the end of decades
there they are
tea splashing clove strong from chipped cups
long skirts swaying around ankles
giggling from folding chairs in the town square
singing along
dancing to the didgeridoo
a joint passing between their smeared pink lips
leaning safe into the only arms they’ve ever trusted
all the way to the goddamn end”

“one summer hornets made a nest deep in the garage and my aunt said we’d have to empty the whole thing in order to find where they were coming from
my grandfather refused
and I don’t think I need to say too much in order for you to understand that he wasn’t willing to empty the container of his body either
he would rather let a threat linger between tightly packed muscles if it meant he never had to pull the pain out
stack it in the driveway
let the neighbors and god catch a glimpse
or, sweet baby Jesus, ever send someone in to smoke out the harm”
