earmuffs in summer?

writing makes me

me feel better.

writing makes me

feel

cleaner.


summer seems

to arrive,

like a momentary

rainbow in

a

breath of water.


summer seems

to arrive

and yet i still

wear my earmuffs.


the cold of winter

rings a

cruel memory in my mind.


writing makes

me feel

healed.


i look at my

bare neck in the mirror;

not even one necklace


who am i without

an n

around my

neck?


who am i

if not strangled by

my identity?


i look at the marks

on my face

and the scars of

youth and

i am

thrilled

for the spots i

picked.
