poisoned
raze
it
was
a
strange
weekend
.
watching
taylor
swift
videos
at
five
in
the
morning
when
i
couldn't
get
to
sleep
in
a
bed
that
wasn't
mine
didn't
help
much
.
the
weirdest
thing
was
brushing
my
teeth
.
it
was
all
wrong
.
i
was
sure
someone
had
poisoned
my
toothpaste
until
i
noticed
the
bottle
of
moisturizer
i'd
packed
in
the
same
plastic
bag
as
my
toothbrush
had
sprung
a
leak
.
if
you've
ever
wondered
what
your
skincare products
taste
like
,
take
it
from
me
:
you're
better
off
not
knowing
.

The
flowers
from
mother
’s
day
are
dead
to
the
point
of
dust
and
mould.
The
lilies
have
dropped
petals
and
pollen
on
the
floor
.
I
clean
obsessively, scouring
the
ground
for
any
trace
of
leaf
or
stamen. Lilies
are
poisonous
to
dogs
.
I
know
this
.
I
think
about
how
easy
it
is
for
poison
to
find
its
way
into
a
home
,
for
a
home
to
be
poisoned,
to
become
poisonous.
I
am
afraid
that
the
lilies
will
poison
my
dog
.
I
’m
afraid
that
poison
will
leach
into
the
last
safe
spaces
I
know
.
There
are
so
few
sanctuaries
left
in
this
life
.
What
if
someone
brings lilies
and
I
don’t
notice
in
time
to
save
myself
?
