traffic jam
I dumped all the cars and trucks in a blender
and smeared it on toast.
I drink gasoline instead of cow’s milk,
and I have one green eye and one red eye
no yellow.
No warning.
Just break.
Hope and pray.
grief is smog in my throat.
particulate matter clogs my joints.
i can’t say what i have to say.
i’m stuffed with cotton and lard.

Yes. The beginning of this is so captivating and gross. And the way you wait to show the word grief is really effective. Grief does have such a visceral thickness to it and when I’m within it I’m often wondering how to put its heaviness into words. Well done.
