Emily Bjustrom
Exposed in cruel white light
The hours crash into each other
A bully’s restless hands
Tighten into apologies
The hours crash into me,
My best wishes, thoughts and prayers
Tighten into apologies
I threw myself onto this stage.
Best wishes thoughts and prayers
For the magnet in the door frame- it’ll save our lives someday
I threw myself into this
130 papercuts-for-eyes
It’ll save my life someday.
Gentle hands in soft white light
130 papercuts-for-eyes
Begging me to still the careening clock.
