Clumsy At 29


 With a fox tail, 

 

I brush my many tiny selves into a pile.

 

Reflections through the broken drinking glass.




 

it seems that At 29, 

 

i've still not mastered the art of holding, 

 

Of forming a fist around what I intend to keep



 

Once the floor is clean of me

 

 After I've thrown myself away.

 

I'll pick up a plastic cup from the cupboard, this time

 

I’ll keep trying to end the thirst.
