heel
raze
i
keep
thinking
it's
saturday
,
when
this
leaving
song
is
three
steps
removed
from
the
last
of
those
days
,
and
four
paces
behind
the
next
one
we'll
see
.
i
still
can't
shake
it
—
the
feeling
of
an
ending
arriving
before
i've
made
myself
awake
enough
to
absorb
it
.
the
rain
has
darkened
the
dirt
and
all
that
nests
within
it
, denting
everything
but
me
.
i
press
a
slender
square
of
cotton
to
the
fleece
beneath
my
right
heel, soaking
up
the
tears
that
fell
from
an
unlit sky's
tired
eyes
.
it's
all
over
now
but
for
the
bleeding
.
