Apology
you don't need to apologize for taking up space
APOLOGY
Spit that apology
Outta your mouth
Stop snacking on
Poisoned-covered pain
Choking on that licorice shame
Vomit those apologies
Right onto the ground
Put new words in your mouth
Eat a big juicy fuck you
All of it. At once.
See that?
It cuts your tongue
Tastes sharp and sweet.
Like candied copper.
Like freedom.
Like you.
