boat
























at first,

i poked tiny holes in the bottom to let you in

slowly and with time.


but lately it seems someone is in a hurry.


i've been sleeping so well i didn't notice,

looks like someone has been shoveling pail after pail


of you into this boat.


never told you-

slowly i've been patching each hole

just to stay afloat.


if this keeps up, i'm sure to sink

and your waves will wash a set of stripped bones ashore.
