swimming laps
trying to keep my back straight
doctor’s orders
when I breathe out I pray
salt crystal
melting on my tongue
piecing back together
every fractured hymn I’ve sung
medicine
it’s medicine
sometimes I think if you aren’t sad
you aren’t paying attention
little sister
wins at arm wrestling
pills in pews
my heartbeat is deafening
graze until it aches
I eat like a cow
toilet flush
getting used to how I look inside-out
inside-out
medicine
it’s medicine
sometimes I think if you aren’t hurting
you aren’t paying attention
keep me company
kneeling on the floor
papers on the table
for your next trip to the drugstore
