Poetry by February Grace

Mixed State

Uncross my wires
there’s no one at the
switchboard
your call can’t be completed
as dialed
try again

The fuses pop
breaker after breaker
I’m consumed by silence
and shadows
once they’re
tripped

Speak faster now
I cannot understand you
your world turns
much too cold
for this
fevered mind

Extremes may batter me
but there’s a hellscape in between
please don’t leave me here
alone
like this
mixed

 

Broken

Limbs stiff, joints frozen
made of concrete lined with lead
broken dolls can’t dance
