Loretta lingers
…a week and two days out
and the jumping through hoops is killing me
on the tipping-edge
…I teeter
in the unknowing
the expectation
of having
getting my shit together ripped away at the last moment
they don’t address all the good things
in the white space between words
all the
…trying
only the bad decisions
the actions
that kept my head above water
that kept me bleeding
…ink into warm water
