Ellie Foe Poems

I would like a place

A place
that shields me from the horrors of people
...

Last year I blacked out.
This year I'm hungover.
Empty footsteps and empty words.
...

All the kids came out to play
In the sparkling blue waters
...

A never-ending road,
passing trees and
grass freshly mowed.
...

Everything has a mask

Come close
I'll let you peek behind mine
...

You scared me
With your face
In the dark abyss.
...

I try...
my mind punches itself
over and over.
...

In my mind.
Moving backward.

Standing here,
