Shameaca Moore

DRY HEAVING

You’re the last block before home.

dry heaving

You’re an unwrapped sweet.

that wished it wasn’t

You’re an apology.

that wished it hadn’t

You’re a wish.

worth watching for

You’re a proverb.

worth listening to

You’re a prayer at bartime.

“Please God

make it come up

everything I put in

let it all come back up”
