Parasitic
March 21, 2017
It grew off the excess of what we were not--
insecurities left cavities
where illness could nurse emptiness
into a battlefield of broken, beautiful, things.
It scattered our fragile glass remains
across too many doubting plains
then gathered together a nest for itself
out of unrequited love stories.
