pulse at my feet
and an orange sky
in silence and solitude I remember
what happened yesterday
beautiful in all of
your self imposed toxicity
that I never let touch me
bringing me back
into the human race
I came back from the bathroom
to find you gasping for air
blue lips open eyes
feet on the floor
you OD’d on my bed
a sinking feeling Lost last
unlocked jaw open I pour air into
a body and see
your lungs rise
your chest everything
hollow
evidence that a soul exists
the cops revived you with narcan
you yelled and scratched yourself back
into consciousness
I watched with one eye open from the kitchen
with nine lives you floated
back to standing
I’m never letting you in again
Absolutely beautiful.
