THAT AWFUL MONTH I CAN ONLY WRITE POEMS ABOUT LEAVING, AND/OR ABOUT LIMP BIZKIT

I.

What I need you to know about The Leaving

is that it feels like a toddler’s art project—

something done messily

with clumsy, filthy hands.

Everyone will tell you how impressive it all is,

and how proud you should be,

as they place their clean palms to their unbruised chests

and stick The Leaving up on the fridge.

And you will pack everything you own

into eleven boxes you stole from the back of the grocery store

and move into a new house

where you still flinch every time you hear a door open,

even if you are the one opening the door,

and you will stare at this muddle of paint

that is the rest of your life, and wonder—

What the fuck is this even supposed to be?
