Susan Cava Poems

You tell me you’re leaving
Just for a swim in the ocean
But we both know what sinking
Feels like
...

I look at my friends and know they will never leave me
But I miss their faces because I only get to see them weekly
Who will wipe her eyes when she can’t get out of the box they put her in?
Who will hug him in the night when they see what he doesn’t do for them?
...

Let her walk.

Take away everything I am
Let all the materials that defined me fade away
...
