“today’s forecast is rain
of course
but you won’t open the curtains
to check
there are six mugs
half drunk
by your bed and
a broken vein
from your heart to your hip.
‘you are a part of the universe’
your mother says
with another cup in her hands-
‘isn’t that worth getting out of bed for?’
the rain begins then and hell
the forecast
could be an alien invasion
and you still wouldn’t peel
the blinds back to see.”

“Nobody has ever felt pain but you,
agony is yours, make a necklace from it.
Chew it. Never spit it out.
You are the only one your age not
having fun. You are puzzled by life
because you were born one Sunday
too early. You will die on the wrong day too.
Try to drown more than once, preferably
in the same place. Fall in love.
Cut your tongue on him so many times
your language starts to bleed out
at the root. Reserve speech
only for begging. You are supposed to
want to dress like the girl at school
who pulled your hair. Hating yourself
is the diet for success. Let it bloat you.
Be the river that is always threatening
to burst. You are not special.
There is no pearl under your tongue. Your heart
has you by the throat. However hard
you try you will never fall back in love
with your life.”
