broken

i’m bigger than i look,
not as strong as i seem.
although i can lift heavy machinery;
from time to time,
if need be.

I’m not asking you
to install my
air conditioner

look in my eyes,
when i’m broke inside
and fix me.

it’s august again
it comes around each year for the sentimental appeal.
I don’t always heal,
so I write my own endings, from time
to time
if need be



last night in my dream
i was drowning
beside a boat with my name at the seam
of plastic and sea
although in your will, you left it for me
i couldn’t seem to reach
my hand inside

and like

your chances at forgiveness
i washed away with the tide

if i'm broken inside,
if i'm broken inside.
