that she eats rattle snakes


poetry reading
went west
and terrible.

with solar.

self-fulfilled prophecy
in the middle of a weak week,
unproductive at best.

sick at worst.

lucky to be dead.
embarassed to be alive.
Thursdays taste like cars
and exhaust.

favorite four-letter word: hope.
I am not a five-letter word: shark.

I hope life forgives me.
my fangs are reluctant.
my heart is fragile.
