(TICK BITE)

We’re out of sync.

Call it a rut or

blame Mercury in retrograde—

whatever makes you feel better

about the tessellations we have become.

Whatever makes you forget about the topaz mosaic we thought we’d be.

(TESSELLATE)

How do you combat a foe who lives inside your mind?

You love yourself.

And forgive yourself.

And let yourself be helped. And work and work and work

until the demons dance a little quieter.

And then you do it again.

(ON MENTAL ILLNESS)

It is by fate we met

and by fate we part,

but it is by my will alone

that we stay apart.

Because fate

is never an excuse

for abuse.
