Vaccuming
“You suck!” becomes a
delightful metaphor for
taking it all in.
Rejection
Hives. Itching. As if
her body can’t coexist
with her sense of self.
Out of wedlock
for S.
Without a ring she’s
uncertain, the baby no
guarantee he’ll stay.
Not in polite company
She talks of threesomes,
abortions, things her mother-
in-law would faint at.
Candid confessions of a college-aged daughter
“I’m telling you but
don’t worry, I’m fine,” she says.
I listen, but do.
Best day ever
Post-audition, she
was mobbed with requests, star-to-
be in student films.

She turned to cake, felt
herself melting, the devil
eating his way out.
Easter basket
Malted milk eggs, Peeps,
solid bunnies (eaten ears
first) hide in fake grass.
Easter

chocolate have to do with
