Clearing from Pike by Elizabeth Sanctuary Welding School for Girls

Cut off another strip and bite into it
Align me into rows like her, collected

She swears the air is clearing
I suffer her complimenting me
You taste like you should eat better
I won’t tell, my throat is burning up

Hundreds of insects
In your hair, they are my friends
They look tired from chewing holes in
my foundations, house unstable

Terminal block, ambient temperature
Several weeks locked in
Floral bedsheets deterred
You’ve soothed the instinct
Aversion you share with me
It’s underlying when we eat

Hundreds of insects
In your hair, they are my friends
They look tired from chewing holes in
my foundations, house unstable
