Hydro Jen

1.


Infomercials are false prophets.

Evil stories with unresolved endings.


You are an infomercial.


My heart wanted to go to you,

my feet were reluctant to follow;


my heart always wins.


2.


In an array of scents,

none of them were you –

I caught the scent of

your life running away

from you.


3.


Like a playful puppy,

I was too excited to sit still,

so I sliced my stomach open

and gave birth to blood.


4.


I’m hoping one day

you’ll miss my tweed coat

that never kept you warm…


5.


Driving while heartbroken,

I scream out from my heart

what I couldn’t say to you.


I’m just asking you

to hang in there with me

a little longer.
