Self portrait


 

She is…

 

Better than yesterday, than Tuesdays

The shape of a dream on a doom day

All the stars in the sky

on August 17th

One of the few things that I’m sure of

Also lost in a long, lonely December

and in the lines of this poem

A list of empty seats at dinner tables

A list of blanks

A list of songs from August 20th

Trying to find more than 85% 

(i may have found it)

A lyric, a song, and album

Restless and proud and

an easy target

Still afraid

Always a fighter

And a perfectionist

filling

every

single

line
