My Voice

the break

the break




The final break,
(not sharp and crisp
as I imagined

but twisted
and bent )

seizes up,
and I hear myself,
like a thousand
cicada stridently
repeating reasons

while, moth-like,
you beat yourself
against my door.

Let me in
Let me in
Let me in
Let me in
Let me in





Mary
