Laundering edges
Burrs don’t hurt if you launder them
I just took the murkyturquoisecolores towel off a screen I like to make sure doesn’t wake me up with its blue light overnight, and
putting on my properlyturquoise glasses
to see
the brown spot
clearly
I see it used to be a burr
or it still is
really
just, now it doesn’t
sneak attack
like I was taught everything natural in Texas does
bite
sting
prick
the dose is twentyfivemcg for the
third
day
inna
row
now
Tomorrow we
gotooo
nineteenpointfive or somethinglikethat
jagged edges of me appear the lower we go
we have to reduce slowly
train the body to
kick
in
with its own
power
I have towels all over the place
how did I survve before so many towels and when did I become a person who uses towels for everything
is my towel utilization normal does it make sense
is it a rural skill or a disabled household one or just the only thing that blocks bluelight and mud with equal skill
The little ball is not still prickly, its tines are bent now and soft
the terryloopsofthetowel are safe from its snag
I cant see my way to thoughts
thoughts are twelve micrograms away
beauty is twelve more
essays are one chocolate truffle every ninetyminutes away
but that one brand, not the others
I don’t know the dose for novellas yet
my brain couldn’t keep track of a storyline before the accident past twentypages
ten after the wreck
three to five on a great day on covd brain
upping doses gives the body fuel to start healing.
the burrs in my body smooth out
in my mind, softness comes
im unbothered, at peace
dreams are still bad
but my glymph gets scrubbed anyway overnight so the hangover of bad drems
subsides
the dose reduces
shakes come
I fear people who are kind
my POTS returns
the dense quiet of my sweet house tries
to hug me
I concentrate hard through the brain fog to
reach
its arms
reducing the dose signals gland to start making its own hormone with the fuel it now has.
We seesaw
back and forth
for a year im told
two weeks off
three weeks inching up and down the dose ladder
I thought id never find soft in Texas
but now with this burr maybe there is
perhaps the body can soften into strong
launder jagged
check with me in a year
