Kerri Shying R - # 361 - Venus


Venus

you got disease fatigue  I say 
that face
 today I told you
I got one more   to add  
another on the pile
 of brooding   knick knacks
ripped from dictionaries

Ripley’s
 Believe It or Not with
an emphasis  on
 more often than
not  
 I get more positive tests
 than negative

go figure             the

spaces between them
shrink  I love it
when something common
hoves into view

I see in the paper rich
people put
died of a rare
cancer

like the ordinary one
was just
passé

there are ants in my bed 
I withhold   the fact that I’m
allergic  say aren’t we all
risking death 

this earth
a blue and umber
death trap

come to bed
get bitten
come die
 in someone’s arms
