November Poem by Heidi Brooks

November



staring down at my feet in the shower,
i am transfixed.
i think of november,
of the curves of my calves
and i wonder if that's why

i saw comfort in his arms
but nowhere is safe
i beg my eyes to stay open
and my legs to stay closed.

this wretched vessel.
i can scrub the outside raw
but the inside will never be clean
