PIPE DREAM: EVERYONE WHO KNOWS ME WILL DISAPPEAR IF IT’S THE LAST THING I DO
EVERYONE WHO KNOWS ME WILL DISAPPEAR IF IT’S THE LAST THING I DODAVID TOMALOFF
======
The orange teeth of the concrete kicked in, I wound my way through the city’s maze until I found my weighted heart unchained &set free. I woke up in the arms of a meadow I once loved, where I’d slipped into sleep on a mouthful of blood. I woke up next to a mother’s ghost, tired &battered from the mornings of all the nights before. More than slightly, Miss Tucson, you fucked me up, &you left me there to wither. I reasoned that if I could get out for a couple of days, I might get to see the space where I’d lived—where I might have lived if everI had truly lived—to see who I might have been on the other end of the gun. The buildings at night with their shadowed plaster peepholes. My lungs, like a couple of pump organs, beating out natural flats until I wound up here with a fifth. She is the ragged specter within me; she is the child I never was. I BUILT HER A PLACE IN THE FOREST. I left her there &never returned.
