The perturbing constancy with my efforts with patience
is the ice that
forms on the tip of the match
I try to drown.
When there is no
resolution but gluing myself
to a calm I don’t
feel, time turns into winter
and no matter how
hot my cheeks burn,
my body is an
iceberg handcuffed to pretense.
My patience isn’t
pretty nor inviting.
What I don’t say
with my voice my body speaks
from eyes that
hide nothing.
Oh truth, you are a veritable bitch
scratching me with
your fingernails, and
prodding me with
your assessment,
“The whole room
can feel when the
weather storms
through August and December.”
