June 2
Outside the vet
sparrows nest in Es and Rs
spell another word for
emergency,
beaks urgent,
another word for screaming.
These days
everything sounds like
sirens,
another word for pay attention,
witness
sounds straining through
open windows, lawn mowers or
helicopters, every night
anxious vigil,
every morning
a new death.
Another word for tired is
so very fucking angry.
Here are these words.
Take them,
for what they’re worth.

“Another word for tired is

Powerful.
I love this, especially “These days everything sounds like sirens”
