I am living on an island
which is a metaphor for how I
feel but is also an actual island I’m
behind on my everything I’ve been
tired for generations most days I don’t
know what day it is slept through a
workshop on motherhood & capitalism &
I’m certain that means something about
vulnerability & how now that I’m just
milk & lullaby all I want is to make you
laugh when you ask how I’m doing you
ever just want to watch videos of coral
spawning a whole constellation under
water thinking no one is ever hydrated &
even the sea is losing itself
