2/30


Lies

No, I won’t roast your heart over a fire pit,
figuratively speaking, or peer at you wearing
a full face of unbridled shame. Don’t worry—
I’m nearly invincible, can haul spirits and ghosts
and baggage without assistance.  You’ll never, never
have to worry about me; I’ll be in a murky cave
far from here, alone, but never happier, scrabbling
my existence into sandstone. Don’t look for me.
I don’t want to be found or helped or loved, ever.
