Scott Ferry
heart (shaoyin)
after she leaves
with a doctor
i try to erase seven years
dig the buried minutes
from my offal—circular
as shame curling
around the stubborn
vessels—around the
unstemmed pit
after she leaves
with a doctor
i try to erase seven years
dig the buried minutes
from my offal—circular
as shame curling
around the stubborn
vessels—around the
unstemmed pit
