pawn off

you can have her today

I’ve grown sick of it.

today she is not mine,

and she was yours to begin with anyway,

born in the sludge of you

we don’t go as far back,

don’t know each other like that,

she’s yours today.

keep her in sweat,

that’s fine,

I’ll shower her off tomorrow.

sleep for dinner,

stay fetal-ed and numb,

I need rest too, don’t you know.
