days of starvation
and excess.
staining eyes, meeting,
with grim salt, cornering our tolerance.
I remember the holes in the walls
and the paint worn through by
throbbing toes.
I remember cornering in all the halls
and looking up at each other,
realizing we’d done it together.
and excess.
staining eyes, meeting,
with grim salt, cornering our tolerance.
I remember the holes in the walls
