nosebleed

anger is like an itch
you can't scratch
because your arms are too short
and like everything else
it's too far away
to do anything good about it

and i've been so dry.

every morning i wake up
fighting a nosebleed
i'm emptying
from the inside out


and i've been so dry.
and all i want
is to be all and in all
and not just leave
my bloody self behind
bit by bit

and i've been so dry.
