Vacancy
Making the bed with its sea-blue comforter
The bed I bought for fifty bucks,
reminds me of a summer
an awful summer
A summer when life glazed over
When the space behind my eyes felt like an empty motel room.
I felt as if I'd been dead inside a tiny forest
for ten years.
I was lonely
I was restless
I was scared
