_Refugee_

It’s not berries, but the colour of blood clotting
 on my tongue, so pungent I must
be dead to lick the wound but I do. Like a carnivore. It’s the fear of walking into
the light that bares my tummy tucks. I always buy black dresses. It’s sweat-soaked
wipes buried under the bathroom bin. It’s many colours against white, yet no one
wants it. The garden soil smells like cow dung, like the dorm bed children wet in
sleep. There is always a pillow for weeping.
