September acceptance

Coffee sterilizes my insides

I wait for pizza in a dark room

Juxtaposed by the raping sun

on the other side of the wall

108 degrees still

Concrete 160

A dog can last ten minutes in a car in this summer wonderland

It's ok, you get used to it

the way you get used to cancer

There is a sick high you get in the

scald of the desert, the same high achieved in the first seconds of

hell, then it's time to retreat...

At least I'm not inhaling second hand smoke 14 hours a day like my sisters kids

It can always be worse, but it can also always not even be worse

It can always just stay the same

The iron calls my name again and the medicine eases her pain

At least she can walk

I feel relief and clear breath behind the Tourette's like

hate filled spells

I will stay there as long as they let

me, which is never long

These words, these short moments

are my only refuge
