After Last Night



I tried to bring back purity by 
drowning myself with
tangerines and lavender 
but they came up as 
us and I

My body has been on a funeral march 
since my birth. 
You are a king,
I am a slave. 
Let us find a path. 

(II)
I ran four miles. I made sure to count. 
I felt sorry for myself
then for you
then everyone after that. 
All the virgins, the very apple.
Every truck in America. 
move back. 

I apologize to every ant I kill,
to every flaw.
To every speck.
