At funerals I see dark centipedes
crawling in corners.
Holidays bring suicides and
the centipedes rush indoors.
crawling in corners.
Holidays bring suicides and
the centipedes rush indoors.
At funerals I see dark centipedes
crawling in corners.
Holidays bring suicides and
the centipedes rush indoors.
They terrify me so I try to
count their legs, calculating
their distance from my family tree.
When my father asks what this poem
means, I’ll say it means I’m sorry.
